[Intro]
What is love?
Love is an experience everyone should have
It's not always fun but it's always special
A sweet struggle that seals the past and builds the future
A love that can never strike is an amazing love
[Chorus]
Tell me why is love the way it is?
Joy and pain is all in the game of love
I don't know it's hard to say
But who am I to blame?
Love is so amazing, amazing
[Verse 1]
How many heartaches does it take till this girl becomes woman?
How many tears must I cry till my heart mends?
But as much as I try to get over it, my heart calls for you
Why is love this way?
Does it have to be this way?
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me why
Is it me?
Or is this how love should be?
[Chorus]
Tell me why is love the way it is?
Joy and pain is all in the game of love
I don't know, it's hard to say
But who am I to blame?
Love is so amazing, amazing
[Verse 2]
It seems kind of silly
To sit and wonder where you are
Well I cannot sleep or dream sweet dreams without you
I, I know that I have to be strong if I want to get over you
Why is love this way?
Does it have to be this way?
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me why
Is it me?
Or is this how love should be?
[Chorus]
Tell me why is love the way it is?
Joy and pain is all in the game of love
I don't know, it's hard to say
But who am I to blame?
Love is so amazing, amazing
[Bridge]
Love comes from the heart
And the mind
You need to find
You need to find who's there for you
[Chorus]
Tell me why is love the way it is?
Joy and pain is all in the game of love
I don't know, it's hard to say
But who am I to blame?
Love is so amazing, amazing
Tell me why is love the way it is?
Joy and pain is all in the game of love
I don't know, it's hard to say
But who am I to blame?
Love is so amazing, amazing
Tell me why is love the way it is?
Joy and pain is all in the game of love
I don't know, it's hard to say
But who am I to blame?
Love is so amazing, amazing
What is love?
Love is an experience everyone should have
It's not always fun but it's always special
A sweet struggle that seals the past and builds the future
A love that can never strike is an amazing love
[Chorus]
Tell me why is love the way it is?
Joy and pain is all in the game of love
I don't know it's hard to say
But who am I to blame?
Love is so amazing, amazing
[Verse 1]
How many heartaches does it take till this girl becomes woman?
How many tears must I cry till my heart mends?
But as much as I try to get over it, my heart calls for you
Why is love this way?

Or is this how love should be?
[Chorus]
Tell me why is love the way it is?
Joy and pain is all in the game of love
