That’s life, that’s what
all the people say
Ridin’ high in April,
shot down in May
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' world
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 (that’s life)
I tell ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quittin’
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
lying 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 quittin’
But my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing
shakin' come  July
I'm gonna roll myself up
in a big ball and die

My my
