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 said: that's life,
And as funny as it may seem,
Some people get their kicks,
Stepping on a dream;
But i don't let it, don't 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 queen and a king,
I've been up and down and over and out
And i know just one thing:
Each time i find myself flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That's life, no i can't deny it,
Many times i thought of cuttin' out
But my heart won't buy it,
But if i didn't think it was worth one single try,
I'd just jump on a big bird, and then i'll cry

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a queen and a king,
I've been up and down and over and out
And i know just one thing:
Each time i find myself flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That's life,
No, i can't deny it
Many times i thought of quittin',
But my heart won't buy it,
But if there's nothing shaking
From this here to july,
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die.

That's life!
