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 need a heartache, but it won't be long
Till 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 ṗulling me further away

Eh, eh, eh
Uh, uh, uh
Eh, eh, eh
Uh, uh, uh

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
Staying young is a trivial game
you're gettin' older but you stay the same
You look good when you shaking my way
But let me think of something awful to say
Ye-e-e-ah, uh-uh-uh
Ye-e-e-ah, uh-uh-uh

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 take a total view
I take some little, baby it's hard to do
But I'll call, I'll try to change
It's better than to stay the same

Eh, eh, eh
Uh, uh, uh
Eh, eh, eh
Uh, uh, uh
Eh, eh, eh
Uh, uh, uh
Eh, eh, eh
Uh, uh, uh

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
