Why Should Love Be This Way Lyrics

from "Cabin Fever", 1978, Arista Records, Inc. 


Well, I've been here--I'll be back again
But this time really feels like the end...
        We rolled out our promises
        and they all came up lies
            And no one even mentions one more try...


Why should love be this way?
   It lifts you up--
      then brings you to your knees...
There's got to be another way
   another way--
       there's just got to be...


Well, it's over--the damage is done
But the questions have only begun...
        And lying beside you,
        just hasn't put right
            this lonliness night after night...


Why should love be this way?
   --It's taken
        everything I need...
There's got to be another way
   another way--
       there's just got to be another way...


BRIDGE:
    It isn't that we've changed our minds
    --it's just that love got hard to find
        in the silence we were living in...
    And now the exits must be grand
    --to see who wins the final hand...


Why should love be this way?
   First it lifts you up--
      then brings you to your knees...
There's got to be another way
   ohh, another way--
       there's just got to be...


Why should love be this way?
   It just keeps takin'--
      all the comfort that I need...
There's got to be another way
   ohh, another way, baby--
       there's just got to be...
