It Is What It Is

Racoon

One way or the other way
Things will come around one day
They might blow up in your face
Or it turns out you'll be rich one day
Yeah, that's what mama told me
Stop lying through your teeth
They'll all see through you one day
You're acting all cool and mean
But you look like a hot air balloon to me
Yeah, that's what mama told me

But what if we miss?
It could be right around the corner
What we're gunning for
It is what it is
If it's love you're looking for
There's so much you don't know

So what are we waiting for?
And what are we looking for?
If it ain't love that we adore
Then what are we waiting for?
So what are we waiting for?
And what are we looking for?
If it ain't love that we adore
Then what are we waiting for?
What the hell are we doing it for?
And who is it for?

Dove straight into trouble again
Thinking I should prove how to be a man
Fight, drink, [?] galore
Well, mama never gave a damn, I'm sure
Oh, hell, I used to be sure
You stopped trying to annoy everyone
You don't have to prove yourself, my son
Just be you, yeah, that's the one we love
That's the one we need, the one we want
Yeah, that's what mama told me

But what if we miss?
It could be right around the corner
What we're gunning for
It is what it is
If it's love you're looking for
There's so much you don't know

So what are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
If it ain't love that we adore
Then what are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
Tell me, what are we looking for?
'Cause if it ain't love that we adore
Then what are we waiting for?
What the hell are we doing it for?
