That’s Life

[Verse 1]
(That's life, you better believe it)
That's life, that's what 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

[Verse 2]
(Now don't you worry)
That's life, funny as it seems (Go head and [?])
Some people get their kicks
Steppin' on dreams
But I don't let it get me down (Got a fire, you set it)
'Cause this ol' word keeps getting around

[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 under
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

[Verse 3]
That's life, I can't deny it (That's life, gotta believe it)
I thought of quitting
But my heart just won't buy it
If I didn't think it was worth a try
I'd just roll myself up in a big ball and die

[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 under
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

[Verse 3]
That's life, I can't deny it
I thought of quitting
But my heart just won't buy it
If I didn't think it was worth a try (What would you do?)
I'd just roll myself up in a big ball and die
