Joni Mitchell - The Way It Is Lyrics
If you hear a politicianOr a singer making songDo you just refuse to listenKnowing that he must be wrongThats the way it is, you know,You just see what you want to seeWho am I to tell you how to thinkOr tell you who to beI will show you what I knowSometimes we will disagreeIf we learn at all to growThen I have done my small dutyThats the way it is, you know,You just see what you want to seeWho am I to tell you how to thinkOr tell you who to beI could bring my favorite flowerMaybe yours would be the sameMaybe we would argue hoursOver the fair flowers nameThats the way it is, you know,You just see what you want to seeWho am I to tell you how to thinkOr tell you who to beIf I brought my good friends homeAnd set a welcome table placeCould you see them past their clothingOr past the color of their faceThats the way it is, you know,You just see what you want to seeWho am I to tell you how to thinkOr tell you who to beThats the way it is, you knowYou just see what you want to seeWho am I to tell you how to think
