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 (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 ol' word it keeps spinnin' round.

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)
And I can't deny it,
I thought of quittin', 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 flat on my face,
I 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've thought of cuttin' out
But my heart just won't buy it
And if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball
And die
My my!
