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,
Stompin\' on a dream
But I don\'t let it, let it get me down,
\'Cause this fine ol\' 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 ya, 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\'s nothing shakin\' come this here july
I\'m gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, My
