That's Life(Album Version) - The Temptations

作词：Dean Kay/Kelly Gordon

作曲：Dean Kay

Keep me down

Ill do whatever you say

Ill just remember that old clich

Thats 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

(Thats life)

Oh it's funny as it seems

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

(Thats 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

(Thats 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

Ill do whatever you say

Youve heard my story

Thats life
