We knew your reputation
we hoped that things could be different
but you just proved us wrong
and now you're up to your same old tricks
I guess we learned a lesson
that people don't change overnight
things will work out well
with a little hard work it'll be alright
How could we be so foolish
to rush head first, without a thought
I guess it goes to show
if your unprepared you will be caught
but now we've learned a lesson
a lesson which we won't forget
with our newfound wisdom
things'll work out in the end
This is the way it is
not how things should be
this is the way it is
this is reality
This is the way it is
not how things should be
this is the way it is
this is reality
You seemed so sincere
we'd work together it'd be lot's of fun
but all you saw was money
it's not the issue 'til the music's done
to you it's doing business
to us it's doing what we love
we'll just do our thing
we won't give in for a buck
This is the way it is
not how things should be
this is the way it is
this is reality
This is the way it is
not how things should be
this is the way it is
this is reality
Like a soul attaining heaven
we must ascend to greater heights
got to make a change
got to make a change, the time is right
now I wish you well
and thank you for what you've
done for me
to quote you "Mr. Businessman"
there's things in life that aren't free
This is the way it is
not how things should be
this is the way it is
this is reality
This is the way it is
not how things should be
this is the way it is
this is reality

I know that you've got feelings
For me like I got feelings for you
So shouldn't you be reaching
For me like I keep reaching for you
Save yourself a lot of trouble
Trying to fight it
There's just no way you can
No, you can't stop the river from rollin' to the ocean
It's a destiny that the good Lord put into motion
Like a baby's tears and a mother's devotion
Some things are meant to be
And one of them is you and me
Something in your eyes is showing
Me you don't me going away
I feel it when you're holding
Me you want me to hold you always
It's time to let your guard down
And go with it
It's what's we're born to do
No, you can't stop the river from rollin' to the ocean
It's a destiny that the good Lord put into motion
Like a baby's tears and a mother's devotion
Some things are meant to be
And one of them is you and me
