That's Life

That's life

That's what all 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

That's life

And as funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks

Stompin' on a dream

But I don't let it get me down

'Cause this fine old world it keeps me spinnin' 'round

With you

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 just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life

Oh and you know I can't deny it

Many times I thought of quitting baby

But my heart won't buy it

And if I didn't think it was worth one single try

Well I'd hop upon a big bird

And then I'd fly with you

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 just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life

Oh and you know I can't deny it

Many times I thought of cuttin' out

But my heart won't buy it

And if there's nothing shakin' come this July

Well I'm gonna roll myself in a little ball and die

Ooh that's life

And as funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks

Stompin' on a dream

But I don't let it get me down

'Cause this fine old world it keeps me spinnin' 'round
