that's life lyrics

(Julia Fordham/Gary Clark)

Welcome to my movie
I have cast myself as fabulous and lonely
Roll the reel to the end
Will the good guy come back for the girl again?

And I get no points for being right
And you lose ten
For giving up the flight

But that's life
That's life that's life
My script says we belong together
Forever

I demand a re-write
Cut the scene out
Where I'm crying in the half light
And you shoot bullets through me
Make it more like pretty woman meets misery

But that's life
That's life that's life
My script says we belong together
Forever

Up close in slow motion
He steals his devotion
Away from her
She falls from frame to frame
Calling out his name
The picture blurs

I get no points for being right
And you lose ten
For giving up the fight

But that's life
That's life that's life
My script says we belong together
Forever
