| That's life (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 that tune
|
| When I'm back on top, back on top in June
|
| I said, that's life (that's life) and as funny as it may seem
|
| Some people get their kicks
|
| Stompin' on a dream
|
| But I don't let it, let it get me down
|
| 'Cause this fine old world it keeps spinnin' 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 (that's life) I tell ya, 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 layin' flat on my face
|
| I just pick myself up and get back in the race
|
| That's life (that's life) that's life
|
| And I can't deny it
|
| Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
|
| But if there's nothing shakin' come here this July
|
| I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
|
| My, my |
