Lyrics
THAT'S LIFE
She's seventeen, goes to the high
Gotta herself a sugar daddy of forty five,
That's life
See her in the mornin' carryin' her books
Cant help to notice her femme-fatale looks,
That's life
Walks like a woman, got the beauty of youth
Slim and sensual that's the truth,
That's life
She's a pretty young thing
A real breath of spring
and she knows she's
breakin the rules (CHORUS)
She don't mean no harm
just turns on her charms
Doin' all she can do
Does her studies, eye on the clock
Rushes outa school, round the block,
That's life
Steps right out of the schoolgirl charade
Gets herself ready to go on parade
That's life
Out on the city, in her grown up clothes
Standin looking pretty in her feminine pose,
That's life
(CHORUS)
Meets her main man, big spender is he
She hangs on, cos its all free,
That's life
End of the night, she's had a ball
He drops her off, more kissin' in the hall
Thats life
Home in bed, she wonders why
She can't say no, and think of the high
That's life
(CHORUS)
