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 in June.
That's life - funny as it seems,
Some people get their kicks steppin' on a dream;
But I don't let it get me down,
'Cause this old world keeps goin' round.
(Bridge:)
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
Each 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 quittin', but my heart just won't buy it.
If I didn't think it was worth a try
I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die.
(Last Time)
I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die.
