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 a-and die

My my
