That's the way it is
She said and turned her back on me
That's the way it is
I told myself it's plain to see
That's the way it is
They keep saying all the time
That's the way it is
Sometimes it gets me out of mind

Isn't it a terrible thing
It sure is unfair
Isn't it simply disgusting
We got something to declare

We're getting no wiser
And those stitches don't bring us down
We're getting no wiser
We still keep messing 'round 'round 'round

For it's no one's business but ours (repeat)
I say that's the way it is
