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 dreams But I don't let it get me down Cause this ol' word keeps getting around Ive been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate A poet, a pawn and a king Ive 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 can't deny it I thought of quitting But my heart just wont buy it If I didn't think it was worth a try I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die
