Frank Sinatra – That's Life lyrics
"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, ol' 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 ya, I can't deny it.
I thought of quittin', 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
!

That's life! (That's life)
That's life, and I can't deny it!
Many times I thought of cuttin' out,
But my heart won't buy it.
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July,
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
!

My, my!

    life can be difficult sometimes but also good, just as long as you don't give up and push through it. Soon we'll all be back on top of our games but sometimes if nothing good ever happens or comes our way, we might as well roll ourselves up in a big ball and die.
    That's life! (That's life)
    That's life, and I can't deny it!
    Many times I thought of cuttin' out,
    But my heart won't buy it.
    But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July,
    I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die!
