Some Things Are

[Verse 1]

He took the kid to see a doctor on the other side of town

Signed in with a nurse, sat down

The boy played with toys on the waiting room floor

He tried to read a paper that he read before

"The doctor will see you now" is not what that means

It's a smaller room with even less magazines

Where you wait around another hour it seems

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Like an hour

Lord, it seems like an hour

[Chorus]

All the days go by

No real point in wondering why

You can't undo what's done

No matter how hard you try

Some things are the way they are

'Cause some things are the way they are

Love will be enough

[Verse 2]

He met the boy's mama when they were both young

The kid come along and then another two sons

Together they had weathered what hardships came

But this kind of trouble, it wasn't the same

So much seemed to be depending on this

The doctor come in looking down that list

Made a little small talk, he stuck the needle in

Drew a little blood and was gone again

[Pre-Chorus 2]

The kid cried

And pulled close to the old man's side

It was then he realized

It didn't matter

[Chorus]

All the days go by

No real point in wondering why

You can't undo what's done

No matter how hard you try

Some things are the way they are

'Cause some things are the way they are

[Verse 3]

The truth of the matter come crashing in

Long before the doctor come back again

That the truth didn't matter whether or not he knew it

True love matters and that's all there is to it

I'll say it again, true love matters and that's all there is to it

So when the doctor come back with his glasses pushed low

And said, "We run the test and here's what they show"

He said, "Wait, Doc, let me pay you and go

"I don't need to know

"I don't need to know, no no"

[Chorus]

All the days go by

No real point in wondering why

You can't undo what's done

No matter how hard you try

Some things are the way they are

'Cause some things are the way they are

Love will be enough

Love will be enough
