That´s life, that´s what all the people say You´re 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 all world it keeps spinning around
I´ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate A poet, a pawn and a queen 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 I tell you, I can´t deny it
I thought of quitting baby
But my heart just ain´t going to 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 queen 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 I tell you, I can´t deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out But my heart won´t buy it But if there´s nothing shaking come this here July
I´m going to roll myself up in a big ball and die My, My
