I'm trying to get to first base with that little girl I love
But my technique is much too weak, the game is getting rough
Strike one, she almost broke my heart Strike two, she had the nerve
And when I wasn't looking, she struck me out with a curve
That's how love is, that's how love's supposed to be
That's how love is, hey boys, take it from me
That's how love is, that's how love's supposed to be
That's how love is, hey boys, take it from me
Mmm put on the gloves, jump in the ring And I heard the first bell sound
When she put her arms around me I knew I won the first round
The tide of she and me, I knew I was gonna last
And when I waved at a girl that rang sun She knocked me flat in my heart
That's how love is, that's how love's supposed to be
That's how love is, hey boys, take it from me
That's how love is, that's how love's supposed to be
That's how love is, hey boys, take it from me
Ooh Jermaine, you're a little older Give me some philosophy
How can I win that girl I love And make her go runnin' to me
Listen Michael, you win a little bit, lose a little bit It's all in the game
I see It doesn't matter if you win or lose
It all turns out the same That's how love is
That's how love is, that's how love's supposed to be
That's how love is, well I know, you take it from me
That's how love is, that's how love's supposed to be
Michael, that's how love is Well I know, take it from me
Sing it to me, sing it to me, sing it to me, sing it to me
Now, now, that's how love is
That's supposed to be That's how love is
Take it from me
That's how love is, that's how love's supposed to be
That's how love is
That's how love is
