That's what the people say
You're riding high in April
Shot down in May

I know I've got to change my tune
When I get back up on top in June

That's life
Funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks from
Stepping on a dream

I don't let it get me down, no, no, no
This big old world keeps spinning round

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
A poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up, down, over and out

And I know one thing
Every time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life
I can't deny it
I thought of quitting
But my heart wouldn't buy it

If I don't think it's worth a try
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die

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
Every time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life
Oh, I just can't deny it
I thought of quitting
But my, my heart wouldn't buy it, no, no, no

If I don't think everything is worth a try
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball
Roll myself up in a big ball
Roll myself up in a big ball and

Bye, bye
Bye, bye
Bye
