about

Freud said "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar"...It is what it is.

lyrics

IT IS WHAT IT IS
She took a shot at being an actress.
But that shot it got her no where
She never caught that one big break
‘Cause sometimes one big break ain’t out there.
She met a man, became a wife.
They had a baby, then another
Now she teaches somewhere in Jersey, trying to secretly recover.
Most times it doesn’t get her down.
But even saints, they have their bad days,
When regrets, they come around
She pulls herself aside and she says...

CHORUS
“It is what is...ain’t nothing you can do about it
Life’s a beautiful thing, you take the good with the bad.
It is what it is...it’s better for you than many others
It is what it is
And what it is
Ain’t so bad.”

Some people never live their lives.
Too busy searching through their past.
Trying to recapture what’s been lost
Or trying to make a moment last.
But man they’re heading for a fall
Because that’s a game you just can’t win.
The saddest memories of all,
Are memories of what might have been.

CHORUS


BRIDGE
Some things you just can’t influence
Chalk it up to the experience
Give it a name and keep on keeping on...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.....hey hey hey hey!
