Joni Mitchell - The Way It Is - Chelsea Recording Lyrics

Lyrics The Way It Is - Chelsea Recording - Joni Mitchell




If you hear a politician
Or a singer making song
Do you just refuse to listen
Knowing that he must be wrong
That's the way it is, you know
You just see what you want to see
Who am I to tell you how to think?
Or tell you who to be
I will show you what I know
And sometimes we will disagree
If we learn at all to grow
Then I have done my small duty
That's the way it is, you know
You just see what you want to see
Who am I to tell you how to think?
Or tell you who to be
I could bring my favorite flower
Maybe yours would be the same
Maybe we would argue hours
Over the fair flower's name
That's the way it is, you know
You just see what you want to see
Who am I to tell you how to think?
Or tell you who to be
If I brought my good friends home
And set a welcome table place
Could you see them past their clothing
Or past the color of their face?
That's the way it is, you know
You just see what you want to see
Who am I to tell you how to think?
Or tell you who to be
That's the way it is, you know
You just see what you want to see
Who am I to tell you how to think?
