Lyrics

She woke up this morning to the sound of a slammin? door
The note pinned to her pillow said he?s 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 put a top hat on a pig, and dress it up but it's still a pig
And it is what it is

He?s headin down the highway with that new girl by his side
He?s always lookin for a change - then misses what he?s 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
Put a top hat on a pig, and dress it up but it's still a pig
And it is what it is

Bridge

She goes runnin thru the kitchen at the sound of his 4X4
As he jumps out of 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
Put a top hat on a pig, and dress it up but it's still a pig
And it is what it is

It is what it is you can't change him
I know you tried a thousand times
Put a top hat on a pig, and dress it up but it's still a pig
Put a top hat on a pig, and dress it up but it's still a pig

And it is what it is
It is what it is
It is what it is
It is what it is
