That''''s life, that''''s what people say
You''''re riding'''' high in april
Shot down in may.
But I know I''''m gonna change that tune
When I''''m back on top in june.

That''''s life, funny as it seems.
Some people get their kicks,
Steppin'''' on dream
But I don''''t let it get me down,
''''cause this final word keeps spinning 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, I tell you can''''t deny it,
I thought of quitting,baby
But my heart just won''''t buy it.
If I didn''''t think it was worth one single try,
I jump and ride a big bird and then I 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 flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That''''s life,that''''s life and I can''''t deny it
Many times I thought of quitting
But my heart just won''''t buy it.
If I didn''''t think it was worth one single try,
I''''m gonna roll myself up in a big ball
and I''''m my mine
