That's the Way Love Is (Ten City song)

"That's the Way Love Is" is a 1989 dance and soul single by Chicago-based dance trio Ten City. The single reached number eight in the UK and number eighteen in Germany and was the group's highest charting single on both the R&B and dance charts in the U.S. "That's the Way Love Is" reached number twelve on the U.S R&B Singles chart,[1] and number one on the Dance Club Play chart.[2] The single featured two main versions - on most releases, an acid house mix by Steve "Silk" Hurley (variously titled either "Deep House Mix" or "Acieeed Mix") was the A-side, while a string-led mix by Timmy Regisford, named the "Underground Mix", appeared on the B-side. Both mixes also had corresponding radio edits and dub versions.
