WAY IT IS

Justin Bieber & Gunna

Lyrics

[Verse: Justin Bieber]
I'm dreamin', I'm reachin' and pullin' you closer
We could settle down, I'm dreamin' of a place that we can go away
Time isn't stolen, and there's nobody around
Let's keep it dreamy, ooh, and it won't die
And every day, I lay my life down, I need you by my side
Every day, I count my blessings, uh, you been on my mind, oh, woah, woah
[Chorus: Justin Bieber & Gunna]
That's just the way it is, then we can settle down, settle down
No more drama, no reason to complicate it, we can settle down
That's just the way it is, then we can settle down, settle down
No morе drama, no reason to complicate it, we can sеttle down
[Post-Chorus: Justin Bieber]
And I just want you (Ooh), hold you, love you (Ooh)
Baby, I just want you (Ooh), hold you, love you (Ooh)
Baby, I just (Ooh)
[Verse: Gunna]
Ain't thinkin' 'bout all of the things, make it complicated
I bought you peony flowers 'cause you exotic, baby
I need more doses of your love, I'm intoxicated (Intoxicated)
I love the way you feel (Way you feel), dreamin' and travelin' places we’ve never seen
Seein' you carry my child with a diamond ring, hope we can settle down, start a family
That's just the way it is, I custom Yves Saint Laurent (Mmm)
I get you Hermès, the Croc (Yeah), 'cause it's whatever for you (Mmm)
Tell me whatever you want (Uh), I'd do whatever for you (Mmm)
Get anything what you want, 'cause it's whatever for you
Vintage Chanel for the clutch (Uh), put Hoorsenbuhs on her right (Yeah)
Know what I do, turn her up, she want the new Bentley truck (Yeah)
You get your bang for your buck, I get whatever for you
Ain't no one else, it's just us, and it's whatever for you
[Chorus: Justin Bieber & Gunna]
That's just the way it is, then we can settle down, settle down
No more drama, no reason to complicate it, we can settle down
That's just the way it is (Uh), then we can settle down (Uh), settle down (Uh)
No more drama, no reason to complicate it, we can settle down
[Post-Chorus: Justin Bieber]
And I just want you, hold you, love you (Ooh, 'cause you're on my mind)
Baby, I just want you, hold you, love you ('Cause you're on my mind)
Baby, I just (Ooh)
