that's life

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

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

bye bye

bye bye
