That's Life

Lyrics

That's life (that's life), that's what people say
 You're riding high in April
 Sitting on the ground in May
 But I believe I'm gonna change that tune
 When I'm back on top, yeah in June
 I tell you that's life (that's life) and as funny as it may seem
 Some people really get big kicks
 From stepping and walking on your dreams
 But I'm not gonna let it get me down
 Because this big world of ours is going to keep spinnin' around (spinnin', spinnin')
 I've been a puppet, pauper, pirate, poet, pawn and a queen
 I've been up, I've been down
 I've been over, I've been out
 And I learned one thing
 That every time I see myself, fallin' flat on my face
 This is what I do
 Say get up girl, oh, get up girl, oh, get back in the race
 Oh, that's life (that's life)
 I'm not going deny it
 I really thought of quitting once or twice
 But my heart wouldn't buy it
 And if I thought it was worth one single try
 This is what I'd do
 I'd call American Airlines, get dead on a jet and I'd fly (fly)
 I've been a puppet, pauper, pirate, poet, pawn and a queen
 I've been up, I've been down
 I've been over, I've been out
 And I learned one thing
 That every time I see myself, fallin' flat on my face
 This is what I do
 Say get up girl, oh, listen to yourself, oh, get back up in the race
 Oh, that's life (that's life)
 And I'm not going deny it
 I really, really thought of quitting once or twice
 But my heart just wouldn't buy it
 And if I thought it was worth a single try
 I'd just roll myself up in one of those big balls
 And I'd lay right down and I'd (that's life, that's life)
