That's life, that's what all the people say You're riding high in April, you shot down in May I know I'm gonna change that tune When I'm back on top in June I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks stompin' on your dreams But I dont let it, let it get me down 'Cause this fine old world keeps spinning 'round 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, but 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 (that's life), and I try and I can't deny it Many times I thought of cutting out but my heart won't buy it But if there's nothing shaking come this here July I'm gonna roll (he's gonna roll) I'm gonna roll (he's gonna roll) I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die (That's life, that's life) You can't deny, oh
