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 (that's life), and as funny as it may seem 
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream 
But I don't let it, let it get me down 
'Cause this fine old world it keeps spinnin' around 

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 flat on my face 
I pick myself up and get back in the race 

That's life (that's life)--I tell you I can't deny it 
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it 
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try 
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly 

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 layin' flat on my face 
I just pick myself up and get back in the race 

That's life (that's life), that's life and I can't deny it 
Many times I thought of cuttin' out, but my heart won't buy it 
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July 
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die 

My, my
