That's life, THAT'S LIFE
that's what all the people say.
You're riding high on Monday,
shot down in May.
But I, I ain't never gonna change my tune
when I'm back on top in the month of June.

I said, that's life. THAT'S LIFE
Ain't as funny as it may seem,
some people get their kicks
stompin' on a dream.
But I, I don't never let it get me down
'cause that big ol' world keeps spinnin' 'round.

   Been a puppet, pirate, a poet, a pauper, a pawn and a king.
   Been up and down and over and out and I know one thing:
   each time that I find myself flat on my face
   I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That's life. THAT'S LIFE
And I can't deny it,
many times I thought of quitting, babe,
but my heart wouldn't buy it.
If I didn't think it was worth one try
I'd jump right on a big bucket and fly.

   Been a puppet, poet, pirate, pauper; now I'm a king.
   Been up, down, I know one thing:
   each time that I find myself flat on my face
   I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That's life. THAT'S LIFE
And I can't deny it,
many times I thought of quitting, babe,
but my heart wouldn't buy it.
If I didn't think it was worth one try
I'd just roll myself up in a big ball and fly.
