 How  can  this  be  love, -
 if  it  makes  us  cry
 How  can  this  be  love, -
 if  it  makes  us  cry
 I thought love -
 was every -  thing
 I be -  lieved -
 in  all the  good things -
 it would  bring
 But  lately -
 we have hurt each other  bad
 And I'm a -  fraid -
 to  lose the  loving -
 that we  had
 I  tried to make it good
 I  did the best I could, whoohoohoho
 How  can  this  be  love, -
 if  it  makes  us  cry
 How  can  this  be  love, -
 if  it  makes  us  cry
 I  ask my  mama, -
 what  to  do,
 Is  it  just a  passing  thing, -
 we  going  through
 She said "  baby, -
 don't be  blue -
 If  you  get through  this, you  know -
 your  love is  true".
 We  tried to make it good
 We  did the best I could, whoohoohoho
 How  can  this  be  love, -
 if  it  makes  us  cry
 How  can  this  be  love, -
 if  it  makes  us  cry
 I  tried to  make it good
 I  did the  best I could
 We  tried and  tried, We  cried and  cried
 We  did the  best we could
 How can this be  love, -
 if it  makes us  cry,
 - who -  oah
 How can this be  love, -
 if it  makes us  cry,
 who -  oh  who -  oah
 How  can  this  be  love, -
 if  it  makes  us  cry
 How  can  this  be  love, -
 if  it  makes  us  cry
 tell-  me-  mama-  who -  oh
 How  can  this  be  love, -
 if  it  makes  us  cry
 whoo-  - hoo-  - hoo-  oaw
 How  can  this  be  love, -
 if  it  makes  us  cry

 How  can  this  be  love, -
