That's life (that's life)
That's what all the people say
You're ridin' 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 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 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 nothin' shakin'
Come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in
A big ball and die
My, my!
