It Is What It Is

I was romantic

And young and stupid

I met my husband, you know how these things go

You've got your story

You're in your movie

You are the hero

You think you know

You think you know what happens

You think it all will happen

You think it all will go a certain way

You think you know the story

You think a happy ending

But you don't know the story

(spoken)

What about you, General?

You have someone waiting for you in Egypt?

A wife?

Me? No, no. I had at one time, but—

Ahh, but then you see it

You learn your lesson

Grow up a little

You settle in

Then it is what it is

You've got what you got, then blah, blah, blah...
