That's The Way It Is

Everybody wants an easy ride on the merry-go-round that we call life 

Take a drive on cruise control, then you wake to find it's a winding road 

I had my dreams in view when the money ran out and the engine blew 

Hung my tears out to dry, then my dreams fell outta the clear blue sky 

And I, I was walking in the clouds feeling so safe and sound 

'Til something else knocks me down 

Chorus: 

Oh and that's the way it is 

You gotta roll with the punches 

Oh and that's the way it goes 

You gotta bend when the wind blows 

You live, you learn 

You crash, you burn 

And 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 that the man's not sure 

Another guy will give you everything, the only problem is you don't feel a thing 

Well I know from experience, nothing's ever gonna make perfect sense 

Oh, one day you get what you want, but it's not what you think, then you get what you need 




Chorus: 

Oh and that's the way it is 

You gotta roll with the punches 

Oh and that's the way it goes 

You gotta bend when the wind blows 

You live, you learn 

You crash, you burn 

And that's the way it is 



Yea 

They say your soul is growing 

But sometimes I feel like throwing something 

And that's they way it is 

You gotta roll with the punches 

And that's they way it goes 

You gotta bend when the wind blows 



Repeat chorus
