That's Life

[Intro]

Don't let it get you, don't let it get you down

For this fine old world keeps on spinning 'round

[Verse 1]

That's life

That's what all the people say

You're riding high in April

You're shot down in May

I know I'm gonna change that tune

When I'm back on top, mmm,  in June

I say that's life

And as funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks

Stompin' on your dreams

But I don't let it, let it get me down

'Cause this fine ol' world keeps spinning 'round

[Chorus]

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

But I know one thing

Each time I find myself, a-flat on this face

I pick myself up and get back in the race

[Verse 2]

That's life That's life

I can't deny it

I thought of quitting, baby Oh, yeah, quitting, baby

This heart wasn't gonna buy it

And if I didn't think it was worth one single try One single try

I'd jump right on a big bird, and then I'd fly Then I'd fly

[Chorus]

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 Back in the race

[Verse 3]

That's life That's life

That's life and I can't deny it Deny it

Many times I thought of cutting out

But my heart won't buy it

But if there's nothing shakin' come this here July Come here July

I'm gonna roll He's gonna roll

I'm gonna roll

I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die

I can't deny it

That's life
