Tell a little lie
And it gets started
Break a little bread
And the tie that binds

Add another lie
Then they start flowing
Then it won't be long
Until it's going, going gone
I'm talking about love
That's the way it goes

Give a cheating look
Off to a stranger
Tell a little smile
From across the room

Plant a little seed
And it starts growing
And it be long
Until it's going, going gone
I'm talking about love
That's the way it goes

Once love is done in
The leaving coming
The door is closed
No use in knocking
When love is walking
That's the way love
That's the way it goes
Build a little wall
Then build it higher
Never give an inch
Until you take a mile

Never see the tears
Even when they are showing
Then it won't take long
Until it's going, going gone
I'm talking about love
That's the way it goes

I'm talking about love
That's the way it goes

I'm talking about love
That's the way it goes

I'm talking about love
That's the way it goes
