That's Life
Frank Sinatra渀 Lyrics

That's life (that's life) that's what people say
Life is unpredictable and constantly changing, as people often 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
Life is full of ups and downs, but the singer is determined to keep pushing and come out on top

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
The singer acknowledges that some people may try to bring him down, but he refuses to let them ruin his dreams or affect his outlook on life

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
The artist has experienced many different roles and emotions in life, but he always finds the strength to persevere and keep moving forward

That's life (that's life) I tell ya, 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
The artist admits to considering giving up, but ultimately decides to keep trying because he believes it's worth it and he refuses to give in to despair

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 nothing shakin' come here this July I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die My, my
Despite the challenges he's faced, the singer knows that life is still worth living and he won't give up easily. However, he acknowledges that there may come a time where he feels like there's no hope left, and in that case, he'll choose to end his own life.
