Smash Cast - That's life (smash cast version) lyrics

[Verse 1] That's life, that's what people say You're riding high in April, and shot down in May But I know I'm gonna change their tune When I'm back, back on top in June Ooh, that's life, funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks Stepping on a dream, (Ivy!) But I just can't let them get me down Cause this big old world keeps spinning around [Chorus] I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet A pawn and a queen I've been up and down and over and out And oh, the drama I've seen Each time I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race [Verse 2] That's life, I can't deny it I thought of quitting But my friends just won't buy it But if I thought it wasn't worth a try Oh, I'd just jump right upon that big bird And then I'd fly [Chorus] I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet A pawn and a queen I've been up and down and over and out And oh, the drama we've seen Each time we find ourselves flat on our face We pick ourselves up and get back in the race [Verse 3] That's life That's life Ooh, I can't deny it I thought of quitting But Eileen just won't buy it So sister Mother Broadway star Or wife, (sure!) I just thank God for the present, the present That's life, that's life That's life, that's life That's life, that's life That's life
