Brian McKnight - The Way Love Goes Lyrics

I wanna' know, is this the way love goes?

I remember how you used to wait by the phone
Counting every minute that I was gone
And you used to call me sweet things in the morning light
After you would love me so tender each and every night

Lately you got so much to do and you're never at home
By the time I get to see you, you needed time alone
I'm too afraid to ask you, I need to know

Is this the way love goes?
Say it isn't so
Is this the way love goes?
Is this the way love goes?
Right before my eyes, wearing a disguise
I need to know is this the way love goes

Staring at a photograph of you and I in-framed
When I blink my eyes you start to fade away
Oh, I recall that day in fall and all the things you said
All of the promises that you've never kept

Lately you got so much to do and you're never at home
And when I finally get to see you, you needed time alone
I've been too afraid to ask you, I need to know

Is this the way love goes?
Say it isn't so
Is this the way love goes?
Is this the way love goes?
Right before my eyes, wearing a disguise
I need to know is this the way, is this the way love goes

Everybody needs a love they can count on
I'm the kind of man who needs to know exactly where I stand

Stayin' up late at night I'm wondering
How we can make it right
Never gonna say goodbye, I'm crying
Find a way to stay alive
Gotta find a way and hope and pray
This is the way love goes

Stayin' up late at night I'm wondering
How we can make it right
Never gonna say goodbye, I'm crying
Find a way to stay alive
