That's life, that's what all the people say,
Your riding 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, and as funny as it may seem,
Some people get their kicks stomping on a dream,
But I don't let it, let it get me down,
'Cause this fine old world it keep spining round.

I've been a puppet, a pauper,
A pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king,
I've been up and down,
Over and out, I know a thing,
Each time I find myself,
Lying flat on my face,
Well I pick myself up,
And get back in the race,

That's life (that's life)
I tell ya, I can't deny it,
I thought I cuting out,
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it,
And if I didn't think,
It was worth one single trial,
Well I'd jump right on that big bird,
And 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,
Over and out, I know a thing,
Each time I find myself,
Laying flat on my face,
Well I pick myself up again,
And get back in the race,

That's life (that's life)
That's life and woah, I can't deny it, no,
I thought I quiting babe,
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it,
And if there nothing shaking, come this year,
I'm gonna role myself up in a big ball,
And die.
My my.
