So it is what it is
Don't get carried away
You better learn to work with it
It won't always go your way
It may not happen the way it should
But when it works it feels so good
Just make the best of what's dealt to us
And say it is what it is
Off to work the other day
Traffic jammed, I was running late
Spilled a coffee in my brand-new truck
Shook my head and thought what the
Smiled and thought ain't life great
Guess my boss will just have to wait
So it is what it is
Don't get carried away
You better learn to work with it
It won't always go your way
It may not happen the way it should
But when it works it feels so good
Just make the best of what's dealt to us
And say it is what it is
Airport, I'm running to the gate
Crowd of people in my way
The sign said plane delayed
So much for all the plans I made
Rep said sorry about your luck
For the trouble we'll move you up, so
So it is what it is
Don't get carried away
You better learn to work with it
It won't always go your way
It may not happen the way it should
But when it works it feels so good
Just make the best of what's dealt to us
And say it is what it is
World is spinning way too fast
They're telling us there's not enough gas
Prices soar as the dollar falls
Seems we're all up against the wall
Just think of all the good we have
Smile and grin cause it ain't so bad
So it is what it is
Don't get carried away
You better learn to work with it
It won't always go your way
It may not happen the way it should
But when it works it feels so good
Just make the best of what's dealt to us
And say it is what it is
Whoa, it is what it is
It is what it is
Yeah, yeah, yeah
