Steve married Judy And then they had two kids The girl looked like her momma And the boy looked just like him The bells and the time and the daily crime seemed to drip away the bomb Steve felt he was missing that, and got tired of hanging home He came home late from work and just stood by the bed Judy asked him why, he just pa**ed and said The way it isn't always easy, the way it isn't always fair Now just because the way things are don't mean that I don't care Now I've found someone who loves me You know the feelings that I miss But it's not the way I planned it That's just the way it is Steve picks up the children, every other Saturday Tries to play the part time dad and make it all okay Sea sauce and the hotdogs and the dripping icecream cones Sunday comes before they know, it's time to take them home He doesn't have the answers lookin' in their teary eyes He just tries to be strong and in his own way apologize The way it isn't always easy, the way it isn't always fair Now just because the way things are don't mean that I don't care Know I'll always love you and I promise you'll be missed But it's not the way I planned it That's just the way it is Steve steamed a romance, Steve ride into the rocks He swallowed up all his pride and gave Judy's door a hug Said I caused you pain with my selfish games And the chanches all I want Judy just suggard him and said I'm tired of hanging home I cried for you, I cried for us and now I'm thinking about me I don't quite know, how to tell you Steve The way it isn't always easy, the way it isn't always fair Now just because the way things are don't mean that I don't care Well I've found someone who loves me, and is wonderfull with kids Though it's not the way I planned it Steve I hope you uderstand it That's just the way it is
