LOVE IS LIKE THAT
From the film "Freshman Love" (1931)
(Benée Russell)


Ruth Etting - 1931
Jack Hylton & His Orch. (vocal: Pat O'Malley) - 1931





Love came along, sang a song
Of all that it would bring
How wonderful, how sweet my life would be

Love tore my heart, tore my soul
It shattered everything
But I forgive it all it's done to me

It takes you, it breaks you
It comes and then forsakes you
Love is like that, what can you do

It wears you, it tears you
There's not a thing it spares you
Love is like that, what can you do

I've known all its loneliness
Its pangs and its fears
But the moments of happiness
Are worth all its tears

It finds you, it blinds you
And like a slave, it binds you
Love is like that, what can you do

It takes you, it breaks you
It comes and then forsakes you
Love is like that, what can you do-ooh-ooh

It wears you, it tears you
There's not a thing it spares you
Love is like that, what can you do-ooh-ooh

I've known all its loneliness
Its pangs and its fears
But the moments of happiness
Are worth all its tears

It finds you, it blinds you
And like a slave, it binds you
Love is like that, what can you do
