Love Is What You Make It

An old wise man saw me one day
He said, "Son, let me walk along your way
You look blue, and I'm sure that I'll discover
(Hey hey, hey hey)
That the thing that's making you blue
(The thing that's making you blue)
Is an untrue lover (Is an untrue lover)
Yes it is, is an untrue lover (Is an untrue lover)
Mmm

I told him love was and had made me blue
He said, "Son, let me tell you it just ain't true
You've been hurt, and you don't know how to take it, no, no"
(Hey hey, hey hey)
It ain't never the girl that's bad
(It ain't never the girl that's bad)

It's the way that you make it
(It's the way that you make it)
Love is just what you make it, yes it is
(Just the way that you make it)

He said, "Why oh why can't people learn
To treat love like they should
How you can you treat love so bad
And expect for it to be good? It can't be
They fool around, they play around
Like love is just some kind of game
Then when someone's heart gets broken
Love has to take the blame

He said, "You hurt inside and I know that's right
You can't eat all, you can't sleep all night
It's like a spell, and you don't, you don't know how to break it, no, no
(Hey hey, hey hey)
But it's never the love that's bad
It ain't never the love that's bad

It's the way that you make it
(It's the way that you make it)
Love is just what you make it
(It's the way that you make it)
You know it ain't bad
(It's the way that you make it)
It's just what you make it, baby
(It's the way that you make it)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(It's the way that you make it)
Love's just what you make it, baby
(It's the way that you make it)
It ain't no game
(It's the way that you make it)
It ain't no shame
(It's the way that you make it)
Love is just what you make it
