That's life That's what the people say You're riding high in April Shot down in May I know I've got to change my tune When I get back up on top in June That's life Funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks from Stepping on a dream I don't let it get me down, no, no, no This big old world keeps spinning round I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate A poet, a pawn and a king I've been up, down, over and out And I know one thing Every 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 quitting But my heart wouldn't buy it If I don't think it's worth a try I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die 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 Every time I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race That's life Oh, I just can't deny it I thought of quitting But my, my heart wouldn't buy it, no, no, no If I don't think everything is worth a try I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball Roll myself up in a big ball Roll myself up in a big ball and Bye, bye Bye, bye Bye
