David Lee Roth - That's Life Lyrics

That's life, that's life
That's what all the people say.
You're riding high on Monday,
Shot down in May.
But I, I ain't never gonna change my tune
When I'm back on top in the month of June.

I said, that's life. That's life
Ain't as funny as it may seem,
Some people get their kicks
Stompin' on a dream.
But I, I don't never let it get me down
'Cause that big ol' world keeps spinnin' 'round.

Been a puppet, pirate, a poet, a pauper, a pawn and a king.
Been up and down and over and out and I know one thing:
Each time that I find myself flat on my face
I 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 quitting, babe,
But my heart wouldn't buy it.
If I didn't think it was worth one try
I'd jump right on a big bucket and fly.

Been a puppet, poet, pirate, pauper; now I'm a king.
Been up, down, I know one thing:
Each time that I find myself flat on my face
I 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 quitting, babe,
But my heart wouldn't buy it.
If I didn't think it was worth one try
I'd just roll myself up in a big ball and fly.

frank sinatra... nobody else!!!!!

I thought he was so much better solo believe it or not

Unspeakably horrible cowardice

At 0:13 the women chorus sound very powerfull and great

Mi cuñado!

Con LUIS BRANDONI y RICARDO DARÍN...por TE-LE-FE.

David Lee Roth's version makes one think "and if Frank Sinatra had been Louis Armstrong?

Wasn’t there a video too? Or am I on a Mandela mixing this with other VH/DLR songs?

Tubby Gonzales No.

Oh the joker reminds me this version fron the great DLR

This is what happens when you can't come up with 10 songs on your own. You put soft covers on your album making yourself look like the lazy shit you are

The Joker features the Sinatra version

super cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who's here from JOKER

Jaseumalo frank Sinatra was the first, but I’m really happy you think it’s David Lee Roth, cause he is awesome like that.

Pamela Brewer I knew it wasn’t originally his but it was the first I heard

papa squat toughest guy on the internet. You’re so edgy

@Jaseumalo thanks babe

Lounge Lizard Davd Lee Roth.

2019 TE TRAJO EL GUASON. Y DALE UN LIKE.. TEMOOOON!!!!

A great song for THE VOICEs (Frank and David!)

I want this played at my funeral

He should do a virtual duet with Frank Sinatra to this.

a el Joker le gusta esto! jeje

Changed the lyrics a bit...

You wouldn't get it ...

Dave and Frankie baby understood life my friends!

Loved the official original video, but can't find it on the interwebs?!

californigirl Wasn’t one. You’re probably thinking of Just A Gigalo.

A true ham.

Joker song 😎😎😎😎

Life's good.

I ❤ this song

Fabulosa versión de un clásico de Frank Sinatra!

I love this tune :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!!

He could've recorded this style of music and sold it as a totally different 'Alternate Dave' and still make a bundle...

Thank you!!!!

At 55 this song makes more and more sense to me..

Guckiny awesome after all these yesrz stlll chillin

Great! [email protected]~

david lee roth awesome love this album and this song

La mejor versión!! GRANDE DAVID

i absolutely prefer this version

the only jazz i like is David Lee Roth

My son Dean sent me a link to this song for my Birthday wish..............I think this is my favorite Dave picture.............except for the ancient one I took on the porch of the house on Maiden Lane where Van Halen used to practice. The black leather jacket. This song reminds me of the old days when Linda and Dave, and the kids and I used to sit around doing our homework with his dog farting and laughing while he made up lyrics, or sang old songs ........OLD songs in all the different voices.

billy sheehan - bissonette - Vai : end of story

Grande!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻The best...🎼

Old Frank Sinatra Tune

Diamond David should have been part of the Rat Pack...

If you start your day with this song, it's gonna be a good day. And all your co-workers will wonder why you're smiling!!!!

VAN HALEN NOT VAN HAGAR

My cousin Gregg is playing drums

I love this version!!!!!

all time favorite

Alright! Yea...!

This is the one on this album I loved the least. It reminded me too much of the sell out stuff he did before this. It's nice to listen to in 2018.

That's what I love about Dave: he can rock hard, but he respects the greats from the past: Frank Sinatra, Mills Brothers, Louis Prima, etc.

this song is todays praise to Jesus ! This is exactly what our Big loving beautiful brother Jesus wants to hear in our hearts.💝 send a humorous heart up to Jesus not all broken hearts..Don't make his only job description healing and filling...

You might say that old green eyes is doing a old blue eyes cover song. Cool!

"Dave" is cool. He's a good friend. Knocked this one out of the park. Lololol like you know him. "Leave Dave alone right now!!

David Lee Roth is a fine douche in an alright band.

Hey, I know Dave too.I
Always a Heineken or 10 waiting for you! But don't ask for a hit on his joint
Lol on! "" LEAVE DAVE ALONE RIGHT NOW""...
Or just lace his 16th joint of the day with lithium and watch him smile again,...But, don't wear dented deoderant or perfume or bring any GOD DAMNED BROWN Fucking M&Ms into this joint or we gonna have to start all over!!!!!!!
HEY? ISN'T THAT THE DAUMER TRIPLES IN HIS ROOM¿?

Sinatras version is untouchable but this DLR cover is cool.

I would have loved to have seen the two of them sing a duet of this song...

He owns this song.

Lyrics

That's life, that's life
That's what all the people say.
You're riding high on Monday,
Shot down in May.
But I, I ain't never gonna change my tune
When I'm back on top in the month of June.

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, I don't never let it get me down
'Cause that big ol' world keeps spinnin' 'round.

Been a puppet, pirate, a poet, a pauper, a pawn and a king.
Been up and down and over and out and I know one thing:
Each time that I find myself flat on my face
I 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 quitting, babe,
But my heart wouldn't buy it.
If I didn't think it was worth one try
I'd jump right on a big bird and I'd fly.

Been a puppet, poet, pirate, pauper; now I'm a king.
Been up, down, I know one thing:
Each time that I find myself flat on my face
I 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 quitting, babe,
But my heart wouldn't buy it.
If I didn't think it was worth one try
I'd just roll myself up in a big ball and fly.

Love it! Puts me in a good mood!

Fantastic!!!

Dave absolutely killed this tune!

the video was really funny, i cant believe they wont let us watch it . great song great video... any body that has seen the video will tell you

Pretty awesome cover!

Sort of a "me too" remake, but not bad. I'd never heard him do this until now, but it always seemed like the kind of song he'd like.

It takes a lot of juice to sing this song right.

Kinda always thought David Lee Roth was somewhat overlooked in his ability to sing different styles of songs, he had a great voice

still doing it sensabl

I think he still HAVE.

IMHO, Mr. Roth's BEST song that I've ever heard, even better than "Just a Gigolo."  My congrats and thanks to him for a GREAT job!

Dom Jervis Sinatra was jealous!

I wish Dave could have done this on the #Sinatra100

I sure wish Frank and Dave did a duet of this song...

Love this tune by Dave. Great album & awesome band he put together.

Billy Williams arguably one of the best bands put together. They just fit together perfectly

best version of this song!! I love it

Lorena Belli In my opinion, Sinatra’s version is legendary ! But this one is awesome !

Prefer the Sinatra original a bit more, but not bad.

I was shot down in May, but it is June and I am back on top. Thank you Dave for this awesome album that inspired me to keep living when the chips were down! Bless you!

+HIPPOSTOMPER wow! dave atually helped someone! i know dave and hes hard to love. he has a good heaRT but was born to 2 doctors then was singer for huge ass band. ad to that a huge ego and an even bigger problem with severbipolar disorder and you've got a toxic mix of is he gotta hit me or be the cool dave every single day!111
