But if I didn't think it was worth a try
Each time I find myself flat on my face
'Cause this ol' world keeps right on going around
But if I didn't think it was worth a try
I'd just roll myself up in a great big ball and die
I'd just roll myself up in a big ball and die
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
Oh and I can't deny it, yes I thought of quitting
(Now don’t you worry)
(Great big ball and die)
(That’s life)
(What would you do?)
I've been up, down, over and under
You’ve heard my story
Keep me down
(Go ahead enjoy it)
But I know I'm gonna change their tune
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
You're riding' high in April, shot down in May
Some people get their kicks steppin' on dreams
Each time I find myself flat on my face
That's life
I’ll just remember that old cliché
That's life
Oh, it's funny as it seems
“That’s life,” you better believe it
That's life
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet
(Tell us why you said it)
And I know one thing
(That’s life)
I've been up, down and over and under
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
That's what the people say
And I know one thing
But I don't let it get me down
A pawn and a king
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet
But I tell you my heart it just won't buy it
A pawn and a king
(That’s life, you gotta believe it)
I’ll do whatever you say
But you know my heart, my little heart just won't buy it
And I can't deny it, yes I thought of quitting
