That's How It Is

Please, somebody take your hand

And slap some sense in me

Open my eyes

'Cause I'm too blind to see

I've got this woman

And she's messing my mind around

She knows that I love her

But still she's trying to put me down

I know I'm just a fool

Someone she can use

But I can't help myself, ooh no

I can't help myself, ooh

Now listen, baby

Oh, I know I'm just your fool

But I love you

And for you I'll break every rule

Now, I've broken hearts before

Of dear ones that loved me

But now I fell in love with you

Place no one above you

The Lord knows I love you

Always thinking of you

But I can't help myself

I can't help myself, ooh no

Please don't look down on me

Because I'm weak

When you're in love it's easy to be

I know I'm being abused

Misused and confused

But that's how it is

When you're in love

That's how it is now

I know that's how it is now

When you love someone that don't love you, oh yeah

To keep on being abused

You keep on being misused, now

But that's how it is

When you're in love

Somebody please

Slap some sense in me

'Cause I'm too blind, I'm too blind

Oh, and I don't wanna see

I keep reaching out for you right now

But oh, I love the woman right now

That's how it is

I know, deep down inside I know

That's how it is

One more time

Oh, friend of mine

Tell me, tell me

Oh, slap some sense in me

'Cause I'm too blind

I'm in love, I'm in love

And I'm just too blind to see, oh yeah

I know she don't love

That's alright

Keep on holding on
