Don't have it to transcribe but maybe you seek "The Way It Is" by Bruce
Hornsby and the Range in 1986??

Perhaps, it's The Rembrandts : "just the way it is, baby"
or Bruce Hornsby and the Range : "the way it is"

I'm sorry, I don't have the lyrics.

The correct way to punctuate a sentence that starts: "Of course it is
none of my business, but --" is to place a period after the word "but."
Don't use excessive force in supplying such a moron with a period.
Cutting his throat is only a momentary pleasure and is bound to get you
talked about.
-- Lazarus Long, "Time Enough for Love"
