Song Lyrics

Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is
Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is

Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way you say it is
I'll be the heartache, but it won't be long
'Til I get to where it's coming on
A little fame and I know it's true
You can feel it and it's coming for you
No matter how hard I've tried to stay
I feel you pulling me further away

Aye, aye, aye
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Aye, aye, aye
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is
Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is
Feeling young is a trivial game
You getting older, but you stay the same
You look good when you shaking my way
But let me think of something awful to say

Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh

Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is
Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is

I step back and take a total view
It takes a minute, baby it's hard to do
No matter how hard, I try to change
Nothing's better, if you stay the same

Aye, aye, aye
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Aye, aye, aye
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Aye, aye, aye
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Aye, aye, aye
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is
Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is
