Jo Dee Messina - If Not You lyrics

Everybody wants an easy ride on the merry-go-round that we call life Take a drive on cruise control, then you wake to find it's a winding road I had my dreams in view when the money ran out and the engine blew Hung my tears out to dry, then my dreams fell outta the clear blue sky And I, I was walking in the clouds feeling so safe and sound 'Til something else knocks me down Chorus: Oh and that's the way it is You gotta roll with the punches Oh and that's the way it goes You gotta bend when the wind blows You live, you learn You crash, you burn And that's the way it is One fine day you wake up, completely, hopelessly fallen in love He's just what you're looking for, the only problem is that the man's not sure Another guy will give you everything, the only problem is you don't feel a thing Well I know from experience, nothing's ever gonna make perfect sense Oh, one day you get what you want, but it's not what you think, then you get what you need Chorus: Oh and that's the way it is You gotta roll with the punches Oh and that's the way it goes You gotta bend when the wind blows You live, you learn You crash, you burn And that's the way it is Yea They say your soul is growing But sometimes I feel like throwing something And that's they way it is You gotta roll with the punches And that's they way it goes You gotta bend when the wind blows Repeat chorus
