That?s life, (that?s life)
That?s what all people say.
You?re riding? high in April,
Shot down in May
But I guess I?m gonna change my tune,
When I?m back on top, back on top in June
I?ll say, that?s life, (that?s life)
And as funny as it may seem (I?d hope)
Some people get their kicks,
Steppin? on a dream
But I ain?t gonna let it get me down,
(never, never, never)
?Cause this fine ol? word 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
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself falling flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the rac
That?s life, (that?s life)
And there?s no denying,
I thought of quitting, baby
But my heart just won?t buy it
And if I didn?t think it was worth a single 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:
Each time I find myself falling flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race
I said that?s life, (that?s life)
And there?s no denying,
I thought of quitting, baby
But my heart won?t buy it
But nothing?s shaking this here to life
(Okay, what?re we gonna do?)
We?re gonna roll ourselves up in a big ball and die
