Music begins

That's life

Backup Singers: that's life

That's what all the people say

You're riding high in April

shot down in May

But I know I'm going to change

that tune, when I'm back on top

back on top in June.

I say that's life.

Backup singers: that's life

And as funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks

Stomping on a dream

But I don't let it

let it get me down

Cause this fine this old world

it keeps spinning around.

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

each time I find myself

flat on my face

I pick myself up

and get back in the race

that's life

Backup singers: that's life

I tell you I can't deny it

I thought of quitting baby

but my heart just ain't going to buy it

and if I didn't think it was

worth one single try

I'd jump right on a big bird

and then I'd fly

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

Each time I find myself

laying flat on my face

I just pick myself up and

get back in the race

That's life

Backup Singers: That's life

That's life and I can't deny it

Many times I thought of cutting out

but my heart won't buy it.

But if there's nothing shaking come this

here July

I'm going roll myself up

in a big ball

and die.

My my
