Ain't nobody ever prove their love when
Things are all good and two people are smiling
Love is found way down in the trenches
And he's throwin' a fit and she's sittin' there crying

We tear it up
(Tear it up)
To patch it up
(Patch it up)
Break up to make up
The show goes 'round and 'round
And that's how we get down

We go back and forth
And anybody who's been through this should know
That what I'm saying's for real
Real lovers feel this way

We say things that we don't mean
And that's the way love work out sometime
He trippin', she trippin' and we both be trippin' mayne
That's the way love work out sometime

'Cause when it's on, it's on and you're no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson that love is still a blessin'
'When it's all said and done we're back at square one
And that's the way love work out sometime

What you know about screamin', yellin', cursin'
Pushin' and rumbling and arguing
Like it's 12 rounds, up inside the garden

I say where the hell you going
And you say, I'm getting up out of here
And I say you ain't going no where
Then I follow you down the stairs
Get in front of you and I scream

It's times like this I know you're still the one
And the truth is this is really love and ooh, yeah
When I feel like going off, I brush my shoulders off
And you know

We say things that we don't mean
That's the way love work out sometime
He trippin', she trippin and we both be trippin', mayne
That's the way love work out sometime

'Cause when it's on it's on and you're no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson that love is still a blessin'
'Cause when it's all said and done we're back at square one
And that's the way love work out sometime

You won't believe it until you see it
How much you need somebody, need somebody
And you'll never know how far you'll go
When you love somebody, love somebody, ooh, ooh

And that you need somebody, need somebody
And you'll love somebody, love somebody
(Sometimes we say the craziest things)

We say things that we don't mean
That's the way love work out sometime
He trippin', she trippin and we both be trippin', mayne
That's the way love work out sometime

'Cause when it's on it's on and you're no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson that love is still a blessin'
When it's all said and done we're back at square one
And that's the way love work out sometime

We say things that we don't mean
'Cause that's the way love work out sometime
He trippin', she trippin and we both be trippin', mayne
That's the way love work out sometime

'Cause when it's on, it's on and you're no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson that love is still a blessin'
When it's all said and done we're back at square one
And that's the way love work out sometime

That's the way love work out sometime
That's the way love works out sometime
