That's The Way It Is Lyrics

C'mon

I been up and down, I been side to side,

I been buried alive I been hurt I been robbed,
but I'm OK
I been hot I get cold
I been in a cell and outside as well
I'm a slob with no job but I'm alright
~Bridge~

Cuz I don't wanna shout
and I don't wanna scream,
and I don't wanna talk all night
about these stupid things
because it's like that,
and that's the way it is
~Chorus~

I know everything I need to know now
and that's the way it is
I know everything I wanna do now
and that's the way it is
I know pictures get faded
And that's the way it is
Because it's like that
I get high I been low,

I get turned around I been upside down
and I choke cuz I'm broke all the time
Am I real or a fad?
I gotta real good mom and a real good dad
I'm a creep but I sleep just fine
~Bridge~

~Chorus~

~Bridge~

I been up and down, I been side to side,

I been buried alive I been hurt I been robbed,
but I'm OK
~Chorus~

It's like this now, it's like that now

We don't stop now just rock now
Let sunshine fall on your back now
~Chorus~

I Don't Wanna Kiss You Goodnight

C'mon

I been up and down, I been side to side,

I been buried alive I been hurt I been robbed, 
but I'm OK
I been hot I get cold 
I been in a cell and outside as well 
I'm a slob with no job but I'm alright 
~Bridge~

Cuz I don't wanna shout 
and I don't wanna scream, 
and I don't wanna talk all night 
about these stupid things 
because it's like that, 
and that's the way it is 
~Chorus~

I know everything I need to know now 
and that's the way it is 
I know everything I wanna do now 
and that's the way it is 
I know pictures get faded 
And that's the way it is
Because it's like that
I get high I been low,

I get turned around I been upside down 
and I choke cuz I'm broke all the time 
Am I real or a fad? 
I gotta real good mom and a real good dad 
I'm a creep but I sleep just fine
~Bridge~

~Chorus~

~Bridge~

I been up and down, I been side to side,

I been buried alive I been hurt I been robbed, 
but I'm OK
~Chorus~

It's like this now, it's like that now

We don't stop now just rock now 
Let sunshine fall on your back now
~Chorus~

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
