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 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...

My my...
