That´s life, that´s what all the people say
You´re ridin´ high in April
Yor´re 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 say that´s life, as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
stompin´ on a dream
But I don´t let it get me down
´Cause this ol´ world just keeps spinnin´ around

I´ve been a puppet, a poet, a pauper, a pirate
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, I tell you, I can´t deny it
I thought of quittin´ baby
But my heart just won´t buy it
And if I didn´t think it was worth just one more try
I´d roll myself up in a big ball and die

I´ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
A poet, a pawn and a king
I´ve been up and down, over and out
I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin´ flat on my face
I just pick myself up and I get back in the race

That´s life, I can´t deny it
I thought of quittin´, baby
But my heart just won´t buy it
But if there´s nothing shaking
Come here, it´s July
I´m gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
