Marvin Gaye
That’s the Way It Goes
[Verse 1]
Some fellas like to leave, leave a girl laughing
(Leave 'em laughing, ooh)
Some fellas like to leave, leave a girl crying
(Keep 'em crying, ooh)
Well, laugh or cry, either way you go
There's only one thing that she wants you to say
Say you love her every day
[Refrain]
That's way it goes (That's the way it goes)
The only way it goes (The only way it goes now)
Yes
[Verse 2]
Some fellas like to keep a, keep a girl waiting
(Keep 'em waiting, ooh)
Some fеllas like to leave 'еm anticipating
(Anticipating, ooh)
Take her love for granted, and that's the worst thing you can do
You got to reassure her that your love is for her
In everything you do
[Refrain]
That's way it goes (That's the way it goes)
The only way I know (The only way it goes now)
Yes
[Bridge]
It may sound real funny, but I know it's true
Love 'em good like you know you should
And love will come back to you, running, baby
Woo, baby
[Verse 3]
Some fellas like to leave a girl with their money
(Cash money, ooh)
Some fellas like to leave a girl feeling real funny
(Real funny, ooh)
But take it from me, girls can't be treated that way
You got to love 'em right, both day and night
Through each and every day
[Refrain]
That's way it goes (That's the way it goes)
The only way I know (The only way it goes now)
Hey, hey
[Outro]
Treat 'em good, treat 'em right
Give 'em love day and night
(That's the way it goes)
That's the way it goes
Only way I know
(The only way it goes)
Don't you lose her, ooh, treat her good
(That's the way it goes)
All day and night, yeah
