Messina Jo Dee The Way It Is lyrics

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
