That's Life

That's life, that's what 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 in june.

That's life, funny as it seems.

Some people get their kicks,

Steppin' on dream

But I don't let it get me down,

'cause this final word 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 you can't deny it,

I thought of quitting,baby

But my heart just won't buy it.

If I didn't think it was worth one single try,

I jump and ride a big bird and then I 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 and I can't deny it

Many times I thought of quitting

But my heart just won't buy it.

If I didn't think it was worth one single try,

I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball

and I'm my mine
