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
Stampin’on a dream
But I don’t let it
Let it get me down
‘Cause this fine all 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 cutting out
But my heart won’t buy it
But if there’s nothing
Shaking come this here in July
I’m gonna roll myself up
In a big ball
And die...
My... my...
