that's life

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 mself; 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 mself; Flat on my face; I 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...

My my...
