<!-- start of lyrics -->
|
Everybody wants an easy ride on the merry-go-round that we call life
|
Take a drive on cruise control, then you wake to find 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 outta the clear blue sky
|
And I, I was walking in the clouds feeling so safe and sound
|
'Til something else knocks me down
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Oh and that's the way it is
|
You gotta roll with the punches
|
Oh and that's the way it goes
|
You gotta bend when the wind blows
|
You live, you learn
|
You crash, you 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 looking for, the only problem is that the man's not sure
|
Another guy will give you everything, the only problem is you don't feel a thing
|
Well I know from experience, nothing's 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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Yea
|
They say your soul is growing
|
But sometimes I feel like throwing something
|
And that's they way it is
|
You gotta roll with the punches
|
And that's they way it goes
|
You gotta bend when the wind blows
|
|
[Chorus x2]
