That's life
That's what 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 in June
Yeah that's life
And funny
As it may seem
Some people get their
Kicks
Steppin' on a dream
But I don't let it
Get me down
'Cause this fine
Ol' world keeps
Goin' 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
And I can't deny it
I thought of
Quitting
But my heart ain't
Gonna buy it
And if I didn't think
It was worth
One single try
I'd roll myself up
In a big ball and die
But I don't let it
Get me down
'Cause this ol' world
It keeps goin'
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
Yeah I can't deny it
I thought of
Quitting once
But my heart just
Will not buy it
And if I didn't think
It was worth a try
I'd roll myself up
In a big ball
Yes I'd roll
Myself up
In a big ball
And die
