That's Life

That's life
 That's what people say
 Ridin' high in April, shot down in May
 I think I'm gonna change my tune
 When I'm back on top
 I think that'll be next June
 Yes, that's life
 And fun as it seems,
 Some people get their kicks steppin' on dreams
 Me, I don't let it get me down
 'Cause this ol' world keeps goin' round and round
 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 round
 and I know one thing
 Since I found myself flat on my face
 I just got back up and got back in the race
 That's life
 And I can't deny it
 I thought of quittin', but my heart wouldn't try it
 Folks, if I didn't think life was worth a try
 I'd take off like a big bird and fly
 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 round
 and I know one thing
 Since I found myself flat on my face
 I just got back up and got back in the race
 That's life
 And you can't deny it
 I thought of quittin', but my heart wouldn't try it
 Folks, if I didn't think life was worth a try
 I would roll myself
 (and I mean I would ROLL myself)
 Up in a BIG ball
 (you know I wouldn't make no little ball)
 And I'd die...
 One more time!
 Well, that's life!
 And you can't deny it
 I thought of quittin', but my heart wouldn't try it
 Folks, if I didn't think life was worth a try
 I would roll myself
 Up in a BIG ball
 And I'd die...
 My, my...
