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
