That's The Way It Is

Intro: (2 times) 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 out of that clear blue sky And I, I was walking the clouds Feeling so safe and sound Something else knocks me down 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 and burn It's hit or miss And that's the way it is One fine day you wake up completely hopelessly fallin in love He's just what you're looking for the only problem is that the man's not sure Another guy'll give you everything, 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 Yeah, they say your soul is growing But sometimes I feel like throwing something CHORUS (repeats several times) CHORUS
