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, |
|
|
|
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 (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, |
|
|
|
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 (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 a-and die |
|
