That's Life Songtext
von Michael Bolton

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

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 a-and die

My, my!
