Girl, you walk around
With your head up in the sky
Yes, you do now
'Cause you hurt so many before
And never had to cry, no

But you better stop, honey
And realize, yeah
That one day soon
You're gonna have to be penalized

Oh, that's how love go
You gotta reap just what you sow, na na baby

You can't cause tears and run free
Happened to you just like it's happened to me, baby

That's how love goes
You gotta reap just what you sow
You can't cause tears and run free
It's gonna happen to you
Just like it's happen to me, girl

Because you made me cry
You think you're the baddest of them all
Yes, you do now
Well, I hope I'm around, my dear
When he sets you free and you fall, yeah

Then you'll find it's not such a laugh
When tears run 'til you can't see, no, no
Your heartaches are gonna come
And so is your misery, yeah

That's how love goes
You gotta reap just what you sow
You can't cause tears and run free
It happened to you like it's happened to me, baby

That's how love goes
You gotta reap just what you sewn
You can't cause tears and run free
It's gonna happen to you
Just like it's happening to me, girl

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo

Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Well, well, come on help me say it

That's how love goes
You gotta reap just what you sow, oh baby
You can't cause tears and run free
It's happened to you like it's happening to me, oh baby

That's how love goes
You gotta reap just what you sow
You can't cause tears and run free
It's happened to you like it's happening to me, baby

But let me tell you something

Baby you better stop
And take a real good look at yourself
'Cause when those heartaches strike
You're gonna wish you were somebody else

Oh, that smile that you're wearing
Gonna turn to a frown, yeah
You find someone that you love
And he's gonna put you down
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Oh baby, oh baby, oh

That's how love goes
You gotta reap just what you sow, na na baby
You can't cause tears and run free
It's happened to you like it's happening to me, baby

You can't cause tears and run free
It's happened to you like it's happening to me, baby
