(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

& 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 & a king

I've been up & down & over & out

But I know one thing

Each time I find myself, flat on this face

I pick myself up & 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 & then I'd fly



I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,

A poet, a pawn & a king

I've been up & down & over & out

And I know one thing

Each time I find myself flat on my face

I pick myself up & get back in the race



That's life

That's life & 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 & die

Can't deny it

That's life
