[Verse 1]
Ain't nobody ever proved their love when
Things are all good and two people are smiling
Love is found way down in the trenches
When he's throwin' a fit and she's sittin' there crying
We tear it up (Tear it up)
Uh, to patch it up (Patch it up)
Uh, break up to make up
The show goes 'round and 'round
And that's how we get down
We go back and forth
And anybody who's been through this should know
That what I'm saying's the realest
Real lovers feel this way

[Chorus]
We say things that we don't mean (Things, yeah)
And that's the way love works out sometimes
He trippin', she trippin'
And we both be trippin', mayne
That's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when it's on, it's on
And you're no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessing
'Cause when it's all said and done
We're back at square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes
[Verse 2]
What, what, what, what you know about screamin', yellin', cussin', pushin' and rumblin' and arguin'
Like it's twelve rounds up inside The Garden?
I say, "Where the hell you goin'?"
And you say, "I'm gettin' outta here"
And I say, "You ain't goin' nowhere"
Then I follow you down the stairs
And get in front of you and I scream
At times like this, I know you're still the one
And the truth is this is really love
And oh yeah
When I feel like goin' off, I brush my shoulders off
And you know, yeah

[Chorus]
We say things that we don't mean (Yeah)
But that's the way love works out sometimes
He trippin', she trippin'
And we both be trippin', mayne
That's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when it's on, it's on
And you're no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessing
'Cause when it's all said and done
We're back at square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes
[Bridge]
You won't believe it until you see it
How much you need somebody, need somebody
And you'll never know how far you'll go
When you love somebody, love somebody (Whoa)
How much you need somebody, need somebody
When you love somebody, love somebody
Sometimes, we say the craziest things

[Chorus]
We say things that we don't mean
But that's the way love works out sometimes
He trippin', she trippin' (Trippin', baby)
And we both be trippin', mayne
That's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when it's on, it's on
And you're no longer stressin' (Ooh, yeah)
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessing
'Cause when it's all said and done
It's back to square one
That's the way love works out sometimes
We say things that we don't mean (Things, hey)
'Cause that's the way love works out sometimes
He trippin', she trippin'
And we both be trippin', mayne
That's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when it's on, it's on (On and on and on and on)
And you're no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessing
When it's all said and done
It's back to square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes
[Outro]
That's the way love works out sometimes
That's the way love works out sometimes
