Ivy: That's life, that's what people say You're riding high in April, Shot down in May But I know I'm gonna change their tune When I'm back, back on top in June
Karen: Mmmm, that's life, funny as it seem Some people get their kicks Steppin' on a dream (Ivy) But I just can't let them get me down, no, no 'Cause this big old world keeps spinnin' around
Ivy: I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, A poet, a pawn and a queen
Karen: I've been up and down and over and out And, oh, the drama I've seen
Ivy: Each time I find myself flat on my face
Karen: I pick myself up and get back in the race
Both: That's life
Karen: Oh, I can't deny it
Ivy: I thought of quittin' Oh, but my friends just wouldn't buy it
Karen: But if I thought it wasn't worth a try Oh, I'd just jump right up on that big bird and then I'd fly
Both: I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, A poet, a pawn and a queen I've been up and down and over and out And, oh, the drama we've seen
Ivy: Each time we find ourselves...
Karen: ...flat on our face
Both: We pick ourselves up and get back in the race
Karen: That's life
Ivy: That's life
Both: Oh, I can't deny it
Ivy: I thought of quittin' But Eileen just won't buy it
