  • Like a moth to a flame
    Burned by the fire
    My love is blind
    Can't you see my desire
    That's the way love goes

    (That's the way love)
    (That's the way love)
    (That's the way love goes)

    Like a moth to a flame burned by the fire (that's the way)
    My love is blind, can't you see my desire? (That's the way)
    Like a moth to a flame, burned by the fire (that's the way)
    My love is blind, can't you see my desire?

    That's the way love goes
    Like a moth to a flame, burned by the fire
    (That's the way, that's the way, that's the way love goes)
    That's the way love goes
    My love is blind, can't you see my desire?
    (That's the way, that's the way, that's the way love goes)

    Come with me, don't you worry
    I'm gonna make you crazy
    I'll give you the time of your life
    I'm gonna take you places
    You've never been before and
    You'll be so happy that you came
    Ooh, I'm gonna take you there, ooh

    That's the way love goes (desire)
    (That's the way, that's the way love goes)

    Don't mind if I light candles
    I like to watch us play and
    Baby, I've got on what you like
    Come closer, baby, closer
    Reach out and feel my body
    I'm gonna give you all my love (that's the way love goes)
    Ooh, sugar don't you hurry
    You've got me here all night
    Just close your eyes and hold on tight
    (That's the way, that's the way)
    Ooh, baby, don't stop, don't stop
    Go deeper, baby, deeper
    You feel so good I'm gonna cry
    Oh, I'm gonna take you there, ooh

    That's the way love goes
    That's the way love goes
    (That's the way love goes, it goes, it goes)
    That's the way love goes
    Ooh, that's the way love goes
    (That's the way love goes)
    That's the way love goes
    Oh, that's the way love goes
    Don't you know (oh), that's the way
