Lyrics
You gotta win some, lose some, maybe have the blues some,
Cry some or jump with glee.
That’s how it is with lovers,
That’s how it is with me.

You gotta give some, take some, pretty up the cake some,
Stop some and start anew.
That’s how it is with lovers,
That’s how it is with you.

Don’t look at me my darlin’,
I didn’t make the rules
All of those who claim, love is just a game,
Are comedians, or fools.

You gotta help it, nurse it, better off or worse it,
Plus what I said above.
But no matter how it is my darlin’,
It’s worth it all to be in love.

That’s how it is with lovers,
That’s how it is with me.

You gotta help it, nurse it, better off or worse it,
Plus what I said above.
But no matter how it is my darlin’,
It’s worth it all to be in love
It’s worth it all to be in love
It’s worth it all to be in love.

THAT'S HOW IT IS, written by Ray Evans and Jay Livingston (Transcribed Lyrics)
