[Intro]
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)

[Verse 1]
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, oooh

[Chorus]
That's the way love goes, that's the way love goes
(That's the way love goes)
That's the way love goes (that's the way)
That's the way love goes
(That's the way, that's the way love goes)

[Verse 2]
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
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
Ooh, I'm gonna take your there

[Chorus]
That's the way love goes, that's the way love goes
That's the way love goes, that's the way love goes
That's the way love goes (that's the way love goes)
That's the way love goes, that's the way love goes
Don't you know it goes? That's the way

[Interlude]
Like a moth to a flame burned by the fire
My love is blind, can't you see my desire?
Like a moth to a flame burned by the fire
My love is blind, can't you see my desire?

[Bridge]
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way love goes
That's the way love goes (that's the way, that's the way)
That's the way love goes, it goes, it goes
(That's the way, that's the way)
That's the way love goes

[Chorus]
That's the way love goes, that's the way love goes
That's the way love goes (that's the way love goes)
That's the way love, that's the way love, that's the way love
That's the way love, that's the way love, that's the way love
That's the way love goes

Janet Damita Jo Jackson is an iconic R&B/pop artist who has sold over 100 million records worldwide and has amassed a number of awards in her illustrious music career.

Born in Gary, Indiana on May 16, 1966, Janet is the youngest of the Jackson family, who rose to prominence a few years after her birth when they signed with Motown Records. Janet joined the family business when she appeared on The Jacksons variety show in 1976, leading to her role as Penny Gordon in Season 5 of the CBS sitcom Good Times. She released two overlooked albums in the early 1980s—Janet Jackson (1982) and Dream Street (1984)—and continued to act during this time, appearing in Diff'rent Strokes and Fame.

The legend of Janet was created after she connected with the legendary Minneapolis production duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to work on her seminal third album, Control. Control and her following album, 1989’s Rhythm Nation 1814, featured several #1 pop hits and made her a worldwide superstar. The trio would go on work on Janet’s subsequent hit albums, including janet., The Velvet Rope, as well as her 2015 comeback album, Unbreakable.
