It Is What It Is Lyrics

(Stephen Bruton, John Fleming)

-Solo-

I've been obnoxious, I've been unconscious
I've been all kinds of things that are hard to spell
I've been unruly, speakin' truly
I've been so cool, I couldn't hardly even stand myself
I've been a monster without a sponsor
I've been Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
I've been a goner, I've been a loner
And when my mixture was right
Hell, I'm a nice bunch of guys

Chorus:
I am what I am 'cause I ain't what I used to be
(Yeah) 'Cause it is what it is but it ain't what it used to be

I been a mover, I was a shaker
You had a girlfriend, I tried to snake her
I've been mysterious, I've been delirious
I've been so weird, it would have killed a normal man
I wanted money, I wanted power
I want a monument, kinda like the Eiffel Tower
I've been lost at sea, I've been lost in space
And when I fall in love, I fall all over the place

Chorus:(Now, tell him about it)

And you can go on forever and make the same mistakes
Or you can stand up on your hind legs and change your fate
Go on and do until you finally see
What it is that it was that you don't want to be (I felt so - woo)

-Solo-

I was an outlaw, I was an in-law
I was a scapegoat that was the last straw
I hit the highway, singin' my way
But it wound up, sounding like you'll never walk alone
I got a story, reflected glory
Is the way that I've been seein' for most of my life
I heard the laughter, up in the rafter
But I never ever thought that the joke was on me
Chorus:2x (Yeah, maybe just a little - one more)
