The Way It Really Is is an album by Lisa Loeb, released in 2004 by Zoe/Rounder.

Although the album was not as commercially successful as its predecessors, it was very well received by critics who noted on the mature and strong writing by Loeb, [1] with Stephen Thomas Erlewine calling it "the best, most cohesive record she's made, a clean, crisp collection of well-crafted, gentle tunes that slowly, surely work into the subconscious." [2]
