It Is What It Is (You Can't Change Him)

She woke up this morning to the sound of a slammin' door
The note pinned to her pillow said "I'm leavin' with the girl next door"
"Don't you cry, cry, cry"
"'Cause it is what it is"

It is what it is you can't change him
I know you tried a thousand times
You can put lipstick on a pig, dress it up but it's still a pig
And it is what it is

On the road this morning with that new girl by his side
He's looking for a change then misses what he left behind
He'll come runnin back to you just like every other time

It is what it is you can't change him
I know you tried a thousand times
You can put lipstick on a pig, dress it up but it's still a pig
And it is what it is

Bridge

She comes runnin thru the kitchen at the sound of my 4X4
As she leaps into the pickup, there's screamin and howlin from the porch
"I knew you would come back for me!"
"I came back for the dog"

It is what it is you can't change him
I know you tried a thousand times
You can put lipstick on a pig, dress it up but it's still a pig
It is what it is you can't change him
I know you tried a thousand times
You can put lipstick on a pig, dress it up but it's still a pig
You can put lipstick on a pig, dress it up but it's still a pig
And he is what he is
It is what it is
It is what it is
It is what it is
