Letra de 'The Way It Is' de Jo Dee Messina

Everybody wants an easy ride
on the merry-go-round that we call life.
Place your dreams on cruise control
then you wait to find its a winding road.
I had my dreams in view
when the money ran out and the engine blew;
I hung my tears out to dry as my
dream fell out of that big blue sky.

That's the way it is-
you gotta roll with the punches.
That's the way it goes-
you gotta bend when the wind blows.
You live, you learn,
your crash, you burn,
its hit or miss-
that's the way it is.

One fine day you wake up
completely hopelessly fallen in love.
He's just what you're looking for,
the only problem is thats the man's not sure.
Another time he'll give you anything,
the only problem is you don't feel the same.....
Well I know from experience nothing's
ever goin' to make perfect sense.

Oh, one day you get what you want,
but its not what you think,
then you get what you need!

And OH! that's the way it is-
you gotta roll with the punches.
That's the way it goes-
you gotta bend when the wind blows.
You live, you learn,
you crash, you burn,
its hit or miss-
that's the way it is.

YEAH! they say your soul is going, but,
sometimes I fell like throwing something!

That's the way it is-
you gotta roll with the punches.
That's the way it goes-
you gotta bend when the wind blows.
You live, you learn,
your crash, you burn,
its hit or miss-
that's the way it is.
