Now you know
I'm not gonna let it
I ain't gonna let it
Get me down
Cause this fine old world
Just 'gon keep on
Spinnin' around
That's life
That's what
All the people say
You're riding high in April
You're shot down in May
I know I'm gonna change
That tune
When I'm back on top
Back on top in June
I say that's life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stompin' on your dreams
But I don't let it
Let it get me down
No
'Cause this fine ol' world
Just 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
But 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
Oh and I can't deny it
You know
I thought of quitting baby
But this heart
Wouldn't buy it
And if I didn't think
It was worth a try
I'd jump right on a big bird
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
Flat down on my face
I pick myself up and get
Back in the race
That's life
Oh and I can't deny it
Many times I thought
Of takin' off
But my heart wouldn't buy it
But if there's nothin' shakin'
Come this July
I'm gonna roll
I'm gonna roll
I'm gonna roll myself up
In a big ball and die
Hey hey hey hey hey yeah
Cause that's life
Aw sometimes it hurts but
That's the way it is
That's life
Mmmmm
