That's Life
That's life [that's life], that's what all the people sayYou're ridin' high in April, shot down in MayBut I know I'm gonna change that tuneWhen I'm back on top, back on top in June
I said that's life [that's life], and as funny as it may seemSome people get their kicks stompin' on a dreamBut 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 kingI've been up and down and over and out and I know one thingEach time I find myself flat on my faceI pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life [that's life], I tell you I can't deny itI thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy itAnd if I didn't think it was worth one single tryI'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 kingI've been up and down and over and out and I know one thingEach time I find myself layin' flat on my faceI just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life [that's life], that's life and I can't deny itMany times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy itBut if there's nothin' shakin' come this here JulyI'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, my!
