That's life That's what all the people say You're riding high in April Shot down in May But I know I'm gonna change that tune When I'm back on top, back on top in June
I said that's life And as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks Stomping on a dream But I don't let it, let it get me down 'Cause this fine old world It keeps spinning around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, A pirate, a poet, A pawn and a king, I've been up and down and over and out And I know one thing Each time I find myself Flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life I tell you, I can't deny it I thought of quitting baby But my heart just ain't gonna buy it And if I didn't think it was worth one single try I'd jump right on a big bird And then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, A pirate, a poet, A pawn and a king, I've been up and down and over and out And I know one thing Each time I find myself laying Flat on my face I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life That's life, and I can't deny it Many times I thought of cutting out But my heart won't buy it But if there nothing shaking coming this here July I'm going to roll myself up in a big ball And die...
