If it ain't one thing, it's another
If it ain't the sister, it's your brother
You've got to be careful of disaffection
Cause that's someone that's out to get you

That's life
You've got to deal with it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's life
You've got to deal with it

Nowadays you don't know just who to trust today
That they just might want to make a bust
There must be protection from all expected
Can't be too nice if you want it to

That's life, that's the way it goes
You've got to deal with it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's life
You've got to deal with it

Well
One more time

There'll be some good times, there'll be some bad
Always remember the fun you've had
There's time for working, there's time for rest, yeah
Whatever you do, try and do your best

That's life, yeah
You've got to deal with it, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's life
You've got to deal with it, baby - yeah

Yeah, yeah, that's life
Come on, let's deal with it baby
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've got to deal with it, yeah

Let's deal with it
