lyrics

All the pieces fell down right
Oh how I knew it in the middle of the night
You were the one and I knew for sure
Howe could a woman need any more?
Well somethin' changed it ain't got no name
A mysterious somthin' ain't it a shame
It was what it was / But now
It is what it is / It is what it is (chorus)

Baby, it was good for a while
I woke up every mornin' with a great big smile
I don't know where we went wrong
When did the right thing turn into gone
And just when ya think it was meant to be
I'm lookin' out the window cause I wanna be free
It was what it was / now
It is what it is / It is what it is (repeat chorus)

How did a sweet thang just go away?
I was countin' on forever and a day
We ain't at the beginning and we're not at the end
hangin' in the middle so why pretend?
It is what it is
