Lyrics
That's life (that's life), that's what all the people say
Life has its ups and downs, a common sentiment.
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
Experiencing highs and lows - feeling great in one moment and then facing disappointment or failure.
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
Belief in changing the negative situation to a positive one.
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
Confidence in regaining success and happiness by June.
I said that's life (that's life), and as funny as it may seem
Acknowledging life's unpredictability and irony.
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
Some find pleasure in ruining others' dreams.
But I don't let it, let it get me down
Choosing not to let negativity affect oneself.
cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around
Optimism despite the world's constant changes.
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
Various roles and experiences in life, from lowly to successful.
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Having faced numerous challenges, learning from experiences.
Each time I find myself flat on my face
Despite failures, getting back up after hitting rock bottom.
I pick myself up and get back in the race
Determination to continue despite setbacks.
That's life (that's life), I tell you I can't deny it
Admitting the truth about life's difficulties.
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it
Considering giving up but the heart refuses.
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
Belief that even a single effort is worthwhile.
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
Willingness to take drastic actions if needed.
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
Reiteration of life's varied experiences.
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Reaffirmation of resilience and learning from life's challenges.
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
Continuing to rise after facing failure.
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
Perseverance and determination to keep going.
That's life (that's life), that's life and I can't deny it
Re-emphasizing the challenges in life.
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
Considering quitting but the heart's refusal to give up.
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
Contemplating extreme measures if nothing changes by July.
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die
Expressing extreme frustration or despair.
My, my!
An exclamation expressing surprise or emotion.
