That's How It Is

Please, somebody take your hand
And slap some sense in me
Open my eyes
'Cause I'm too blind to see
I've got this woman
And she's messing my mind around

She knows that I love her
But still she's trying to put me down
I know I'm just a fool
Someone she can use
But I can't help myself, ooh no
I can't help myself, ooh

Now listen, baby

Oh, I know I'm just your fool
But I love you

And for you I'll break every rule
Now, I've broken hearts before
Of dear ones that loved me
But now I fell in love with you
Place no one above you
The Lord knows I love you
Always thinking of you
But I can't help myself
I can't help myself, ooh no
Please don't look down on me

Because I'm weak
When you're in love it's easy to be
I know I'm being abused
Misused and confused
But that's how it is
When you're in love

That's how it is now
I know that's how it is now
When you love someone that don't love you, oh yeah
To keep on being abused
You keep on being misused, now
But that's how it is
When you're in love

Somebody please
Slap some sense in me
'Cause I'm too blind, I'm too blind
Oh, and I don't wanna see

I keep reaching out for you right now
But oh, I love the woman right now
That's how it is
I know, deep down inside I know
That's how it is
One more time

Oh, friend of mine
Tell me, tell me
Oh, slap some sense in me
'Cause I'm too blind
I'm in love, I'm in love
And I'm just too blind to see, oh yeah

I know she don't love

That's alright
Keep on holding on
