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.
