The Way It Is Lyrics

My boyfriend called me a slut

On the steps behind the theatre

I wasn't showing much

But thigh-high boots made his lip quiver

And it was a shock to me (shock to me)

That mesh would make men scream

My little black dress made him lose his mind (he lost his mind)

A party in a rainstorm

My ex's best friend asked me

Do you know his crazy chic?

I told him I was it quite plainly

And he just kept on saying No!

Until he opened his phone

Compared my photo ran away and cried

And I guess his manhood is fragile

His mother said he's a handful

And who would I be to question a man with intention to ruin my life?

Ah-h huh huh

Ah-h huh huh

I'm walking towards the train

His sister's in the driveway

He throws his bags into her car

And shouts for her to go away

And I thought that he was kind

Dressed in a suit and tie

Now when I think of him I roll my eyes

I'm in the supermarket

Cash in my jacket pocket

He offers to pay I say No way

But he grabs his card and

Pushes me to the ground

And laughs as I fall down

He's not a gentleman he's out of line (he's out of line)

And I guess his manhood is fragile

(Like a house of cards)

His mother said he's a handful

(He's the king of her heart)

And who would I be to question a man with intention to tear me apart?

Ah-h huh huh

Ah-h huh huh

And if I pulled a stunt like that I'm not sure I'd get away with it

Mm-mm

If I behaved in the same way people would say I'm a snake and it's

The way it is

My boyfriend called me a slut

(That's the way it is)

My thigh-high boots were too much

(That's the way it is)

His friend said I'm still his crush

(That's the way it is)

I shouldn't laugh; that's tough luck

That's the way it is
