That's Life

That's Life

Frank Sinatra

That's life （that's life）' that's what all the people say

You're ridin' high in April' shot down in May

But I know I'm gonna change that tune

When I'm back on top' back on top in June

I said that's life （that's life）' and as funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream

But I don't let it' let it get me down

'cause this fine old world' it keeps spinnin' around

I've been a puppet' a pauper' a pirate' a poet' a pawn and a king

I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing

Each time I find myself flat on my face

I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life （that's life）' I tell you I can't deny it

I thought of quitting' baby' but my heart just ain't gonna buy it

And if I didn't think it was worth one single try

I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet' a pauper' a pirate' a poet' a pawn and a king

I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing

Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face

I just pick myself up and get back in the race
