Now you know I'm not gonna let it
I ain't gonna let it get me down
Cause this fine old world
Just gonna keep on spinning around
Ha ha 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 back on top in june
I say that's life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stomping on your dreams
But I don't let it let it get me down no
Cause this final world
Just keeps spinning around
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 my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life
Oh and I can't deny it
You know I I thought of quitting baby
But this heart wouldn't buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth a try
I'd jump right on a big bird 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 down on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life
Oh and I can't deny it
Many times I thought I'd take it off
But my heart wouldn't buy it
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this july
I'm gonna roll
I'm gonna roll
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
Yeah
Cause that's life
Oh and sometimes it hurts but that's the way it is
That's life
