It Is What It Is

One way or the other way
Things will come around one day
They might blow up in your face
Or it turns out, you'll be rich one day

That's what mama told me

Stop lying through your teeth
They'll all see through you one day
You're acting all cool and mean
But you look like a hot air balloon to me

Yeah that's what mama told me

But what if we miss
It could be right around the corner, what we're gunning for
It is what it is
If it's love you're looking for
There's so much you don't know

So, what are we waiting for
What are we looking for
If it ain't love that we adore
Then what are we waiting for

So, what are we waiting for
What are we looking for
If it ain't love that we adore
Then what are we waiting for

What the hell are we doing it for
And who is it for

Dove straight into trouble again
Thinking I should prove how to be a man
Fight, drink, mullets galore
But mama never gave a damn I'm sure

Oh hell, I used to be sure

Stop trying to annoy everyone, you don't have prove yourself my son
Just be you, that's the one we love
That's the one we need, that's the one we want

Yeah, that's what mama told me

But what if we miss
It could be right around the corner, what we're gunning for
It is what it is
If it's love we're looking for
There's so much we don't know

So, what we are waiting for
What are we waiting for
If it ain't love that we adore
Then what are we waiting for

What are we waiting for
Tell me what are we looking for
'Cause if it ain't love that we adore
Then what are we waiting for
What the hell are we doing it for

One way or the other way, yeah one way or the other way
