That's life That's what all the people say You're riding high in April Shot down in May But I'm gonna change that tune When I'm back on top in June
I say that's life And as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks Stompin' on your dreams But I don't let it, get me down 'Cause this fine ol' world keeps spinning 'round
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, A poet, a pawn & a king I've been up & down & over & out But I know one thing Each time I find myself, flat on my face I pick myself up & get back in the race
That's life I tell you I can't deny it I thought of quitting, baby But my heart wasn't gonna buy it And if I didn't think it was worth one single try I'd jump right on a big bird & then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, A poet, a pawn & a king I've been up & down & over & out And I know one thing Each time I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up & get back in the race
That's life That's life & I can't deny it Many times I thought of cutting out But my heart won't buy it But if there's nothing shakin' come this here July I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball & die Buy buuuuuyyyyy
