That's Life

you wanted a man, you found one.
Got married, you're a wife.
Got bills to pay, need a roof over your head,
lost your job, that's life.
Got marriage problems, see a councilor,
say he threatened you with a knife.
Go back home, admit your wrong,
make up, that's life.
Feeling sick in the morning, realize
you forgot your pill, oh my!
Take a test, even two,
you're pregnant, that's life.
Hungry all the time, sick In the same,
he's not supportive, what a guy.
Your incomes aren't enough for a baby,
you beg for a raise, that's life.
He gets a promotion, baby comes on time,
so does mother in law, you fight.
But at the end of the day, you know everything will be fine
because hey, that's life.
