The Way It Is ringtone on your mobile phone

I'm so sorry when I told you

Those smokestacks were making clouds for the sky

But if I told you the truth

It would just bring so many tears

So many tears to your eyes


I said it that's the way it is

And the way it's gonna be

If that's the way it is

I'd rather make believe


Oh remember sitting on that beach

Watching all tha lightning fill up the sky

Well you got so scared

Until I told you it was just fireworks like the fourth of July


I said it that's the way it is

And the way it's gonna be

If that's the way it is

I'd rather make believe


I Know one day you'll be old enough

To know my stories I told are not true

But when you have your own children

And they ask you questions

You'll know, you'll know just what to do


You'll say it that's the way it is

And the way it's gonna be

If that's the way it is

I'd rather make believe

Oh that's the way it is

And the way it's gonna be

If that's the way it is

I'd rather make believe
