That's The Way It Is Lyrics

Everybody wants an easy ride On the merry-go-round that we call life Take your drive on cruise control Then you wait to find out 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 walkin' the clouds Feelin' so safe and sound Then somethin' else knocks me down
Well, 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 fallen in love He's just what you're lookin' for The only problem is that the man's not sure
Another guy will give you everything Only problem is you don't feel a thing Well I know from experience Nothings 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
Well, 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
Yeah, they say your soul is growin' But sometimes I feel like throwin' somethin'
And that's the way it is You gotta roll with the punches And that's the way it goes You gotta bend when the wind blows
And 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 Oh, and that's the way it is
Oh, that's the way it is, yeah That's the way it is That's the way it is You gotta roll with the punches Oh, you gotta bend when the wind blows
Oh, that's the way it goes That's the way it is That's the way it goes, oh yeah You gotta roll with the punches That's the way it is That's the way it is
