These people have a sense of humor
They always have the right word
With them, there's no beating around the bush
They know all my flaws
These people, they have heart
Yes, ma'am, if you knew how much
They've wiped away my tears
And buried my sorrows

That's life
That's how it is
It's fate, ma'am, I'm not lying to you
That's life
That's how it is
Friends, ma'am, we don't choose them

These people, they speak loudly
And they're not afraid to get angry
Or to admit when they're wrong
To make amends
These people, they've understood
Yes, ma'am, they've understood
That to live this life
You have to keep your friends

That's life
That's how it is
It's fate, ma'am, I'm not lying to you
That's life
That's how it is
Friends, ma'am, we don't choose them

How we love to meet up
And tell each other that nothing has changed
That neither the months nor the years
No, nothing has mattered

That's life
That's how it is
Friends, ma'am, we don't choose them
That's life
That's how it is
If you want, ma'am, I'll make a place for you at my home
That's life
