That's life, that's what all the people say, Your 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 stomping on a dream, But i don't let it, let it get me down, 'cause this fine old world it keep spining round. I've been a puppet, a pauper, A pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king, I've been up and down, Over and out, i know a thing, Each time i find myself, Lying flat on my face, Well i pick myself up, And get back in the race, That's life (that's life) I tell ya, i can't deny it, I thought i cuting out, But my heart just ain't gonna buy it, And if i didn't think, It was worth one single trial, Well i'd jump right on that big bird, And 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, Over and out, i know a thing, Each time i find myself, Laying flat on my face, Well i pick myself up again, And get back in the race, That's life (that's life) That's life and woah, i can't deny it, no, I thought i quiting babe, But my heart just ain't gonna buy it, And if there nothing shaking, come this year, I'm gonna role myself up in a big ball, And die. My my.
