That's Life

That's life (that's life) that's what all people say

You're riding high in April,

Shot down in May

But I know I'm gonna change their tune,

When I'm back on top, back on top in JuneI said that's life (that's life) and as funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks,

Steppin' on a dream

But I just can't let it, let it get me down,

'Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' aroundI'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 raceThat's life (that's life), I tell you, I can't deny it,

I thought of quitting, 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 and then I'd flyI'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 raceThat's life (that's life), that's life, I can't deny it,

Many times I thought of cuttin' out, but my heart won't buy it

But if there's nothing shaken come here this July,

I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die

My, my
