That´s life (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 (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 spinning 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 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

Oh, now 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 I get back in the race

That´s life (That´s life), 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
