That's Life Lyrics - Alan Cumming

Keep me down 

I'll do whatever you say 

I'll just remember that old cliché 

"That's life," you better believe it 

That's what the people say 

You're riding' high in April, shot down in May 

But I know I'm gonna change their tune 

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

(Now don't you worry) 

That's life 

(That's life) 

Oh, it's funny as it seems 

(Go ahead enjoy it) 

Some people get their kicks steppin' on dreams 

But I don't let it get me down 

(Tell us why you said it) 

'Cause this ol' world keeps right on going around 

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet 

A pawn and a king 

I've been up, down and over and under 

And I know one thing 

Each time I find myself flat on my face 

I just pick myself up and get back in the race 

That's life 

(That's life, you gotta believe it) 

And I can't deny it, yes I thought of quitting 

But you know my heart, my little heart just won't buy it 

But if I didn't think it was worth a try 

I'd just roll myself up in a big ball and die 

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet 

A pawn and a king 

I've been up, down, over and under 

And I know one thing 

Each time I find myself flat on my face 

I just pick myself up and get back in the race 

That's life 

(That's life) 

Oh and I can't deny it, yes I thought of quitting 

But I tell you my heart it just won't buy it 

But if I didn't think it was worth a try 

(What would you do?) 

I'd just roll myself up in a great big ball and die 

Keep me down 

I'll do whatever you say 

(Great big ball and die) 

You've heard my story 

That's life
