[Verse 1]
When you meet a boy
That you like a lot
And you fall in love
But he loves you not
If a flame should start
As you hold him near
Better keep your heart
Out of danger, dear

[Chorus]
For the way of love
Is a way of woe
And the day may come
When you'll see him go
Then what will ya do
When he sets you free
Just the way that you
Said goodbye to me?

[Verse 2]
When you meet a boy
That you like a lot
And you fall in love
But he loves you not
If a flame should start
As you hold him near
Better keep your heart
Out of danger, dear
[Chorus]
For the way of love
Is a way of woe
And the day may come
When you'll see him go
Then what will ya do
When he sets you free
Just the way that you
Said goodbye to me?

[Outro]
That's the way of love
The way of love
