The Way It Is

Steve married Judy

And then they had two kids

The girl looked like her momma

And the boy looked just like him

The bells and the time and the daily crime seemed to drip away the bomb

Steve felt he was missing that, and got tired of hanging home

He came home late from work and just stood by the bed

Judy asked him why, he just passed and said

The way it isn't always easy, the way it isn't always fair

Now just because the way things are don't mean that I don't care

Now I've found someone who loves me

You know the feelings that I miss

But it's not the way I planned it

That's just the way it is

Steve picks up the children, every other Saturday

Tries to play the part time dad and make it all okay

Sea sauce and the hotdogs and the dripping icecream cones

Sunday comes before they know, it's time to take them home

He doesn't have the answers lookin' in their teary eyes

He just tries to be strong and in his own way apologize

The way it isn't always easy, the way it isn't always fair

Now just because the way things are don't mean that I don't care

Know I'll always love you and I promise you'll be missed

But it's not the way I planned it

That's just the way it is

Steve steamed a romance, Steve ride into the rocks

He swallowed up all his pride and gave Judy's door a hug

Said I caused you pain with my selfish games

And the chanches all I want

Judy just suggard him and said I'm tired of hanging home

I cried for you, I cried for us and now I'm thinking about me

I don't quite know, how to tell you Steve

The way it isn't always easy, the way it isn't always fair

Now just because the way things are don't mean that I don't care

Well I've found someone who loves me, and is wonderfull with kids

Though it's not the way I planned it

Steve I hope you uderstand it

That's just the way it is

Way it is
