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've got so much to do and you're never at home
By the time I get to see you, you need your time alone
Im too afraid to ask you but 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 frame
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 never kept

Lately you've got so much to do and youre never at home
When I finally get to see you, you need your time alone
I've been too afraid to ask you but 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 our love should go?)
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 to a love they can count on
Im the kind of man who needs to know exactly where I stand

Stayin' up late at night Im wondering how we can make it right
Never gonna say goodbye Im crying, find a way to stay alive

Stayin' up late at night Im wondering how we can make it right
Never gonna say goodbye Im crying, find a way to stay alive
