Shirley Bassey - That's Life lyrics

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
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 spinning 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 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

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 laying
Flat on my face i just pick myself up and
Get back in the race

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 shakin'
Come this here july
I'm gonna roll myself up in
A big ball and die my, My
