That's life
That's what the people say
You're riding high in April
Shot down in May
I know
I've got to change my tune
When I get back up on top
in June
That's life
Funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks from
Stepping on a dream
I don't let it
get me down, no, no, no
This big 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, down
over and out
And I know one thing
Every time I find myself
flat on my face
I pick myself up
and get back in the race
That's life
I can't deny it
I thought of quitting
But my heart wouldn't buy it
If I don't think it's worth a try
I'm gonna roll myself up
in a big ball and die
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
Every time I find myself
flat on my face
I pick myself up
and get back in the race
That's life
Oh, I just can't deny it
I thought of quitting
But my, my heart wouldn't buy it
no, no, no
If I don't think everything
is worth a try
I'm gonna roll myself up
in a big ball
Roll myself up in a big ball
Roll myself up in a big ball and
Bye, bye
Bye, bye
Bye
