(Donīt let it get you, donīt let it get you down
For this world keeps on spinning īround)
Thatīs life
Thatīs what all the people say
Youīre riding high in April
Youīre shot down in May
I know Iīm gonna change that tune
When Iīm back on top in June
I say thatīs life
& as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stompinī on your dreams
But I donīt let it, let it get me down
īCause this fine olī world keeps spinning īround
Iīve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn & a king
Iīve 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
Thatīs life
I canīt deny it
I thought of quitting, baby
This heart wasnīt gonna buy it
And if I didnīt think it was worth one single try
Iīd jump right on a big bird & then Iīd fly
Iīve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn & a king
Iīve 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
Thatīs life
Thatīs life & I canīt deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart wonīt buy it
But if thereīs nothing shakinī come this here July
Iīm gonna roll
Iīm gonna roll
Iīm gonna roll myself up in a big ball & die
Canīt deny it
Thatīs life
