That's life

That´s life - that´s what all the 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, back on top in June

I say, that´s life, and as funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks steppin´ on a dream

But I don´t let it, let it get me down

Cause this fine old 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 you - I can´t deny it:

I thought of quittin´, 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 an 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 cuttin´ 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
