“that’s life” (lyrics)

VERSE 1:

that’s life (that’s life)…that’s what all the people say…
you’re ridin’ 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:

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…
cuz this fine old world…it keeps spinnin’ around…

BRIDGE:

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…

VERSE 3:

that’s life (that’s life)…i tell you 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…

BRIDGE:

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 layin’ flat on my face…
i just pick myself up and get back in the race…

VERSE 4:

that’s life (that’s life)…that’s life and I can’t deny it…
many times i thought of cuttin’ out but my heart won’t buy it…
but if there’s nothin’ shakin’ come this here july…
i’m gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die…

my, my!
