That's Life

Frank Sinatra

That's life (that's life) 
That's what all the people say 
You're riding 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 
Stomping 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 cutting out, but my heart won't buy it 
But if there's nothing shaking, come this here July 
I'm gonna roll myself up 
In a big ball and die

My, my
