That's Life

Don't let it get you, don't let it get you down
For this world keeps on spinning 'round

That's life, that's what all the people say
You're riding high in April, you're shot down in May
I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top in June

I say, that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks, stompin' on your dreams
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'Cause this fine ol' world keeps spinning '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 out
But I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on this face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life, I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby, this heart wasn'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

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 and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin', come this here July
I'm gonna roll, I'm gonna roll
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
Can't deny

Don't let 'em keep you down
You don't let 'em keep you down
That's life, you baby
That's life, come on now, baby, oh yeah
