[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
That's how love goes
You gotta reap just what you sow
You can't let those tears run free
It'll happen to you like it happened to me, baby
That's how love goes
You gotta reap just what you sow
You can't let those tears run free
It's gonna happen to you
Just like it happened to me, girl

[Verse 2]
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, no
Your heartaches are gonna come
And so is your misery, yeah
[Chorus]
That's how love goes
You gotta reap just what you sow, na na baby
You can't let those tears run free
It'll happen to you like it happened to me, oh yeah
That's how love goes
You gotta reap just what you sow
You can't let those tears run free
It's gonna happen to you
Just like it happened to me, girl

[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Well, well, come on help me sing it
(That's how love goes)
(You gotta reap just what you sow)
I say, I say, I say, oh baby
(You can't let those tears run free)
(It'll happen to you like it happened to me, baby)
(That's how love goes)
Ooh, na, na, na

(It's gonna happen to you)
(Just like it happen to me)
But let me tell you something (Baby, that's how love goes)
Baby, you better stop
And take a real good look at yourself (You gotta reap just what you sow)
'Cause when those heartaches strike (You can't let those tears run free)
You're gonna wish you were somebody else (It's gonna happen to you like it happened to me)
Oh, that smile that you're wearing (Baby, that's how love goes)
Gonna turn to a frown, yeah (You gotta reap just what you sow)
You find the one that you love (You can't let those tears run free)
Baby, he's gonna put you down (It could happen to you like it happened to me)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (Baby, that's how love goes, you gotta reap just what you sow)
Oh baby, oh baby, oh
[Chorus]
That's how love goes
You gotta reap just what you sow, na na baby
Na, na, na, na, na baby (You can't let those tears run free)
(Happen to you like it happened to me, baby)
Well, well, well (That's how love goes)
You gotta reap just what you sow
You'll get those tears and run free, oh
(It's gonna happen to you like it happened to me)

[Chorus]
That's how love goes
You gotta reap just what you sow, na na baby
You can't let those tears run free
It'll happen to you like it happened to me, oh yeah
