Michael Bolton - That's Life Lyrics

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 gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

I said, 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 old world, it keeps spinnin' 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 just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life, that's life, and I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just won't buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and 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 layin' flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life, that's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out but my heart just won't buy it
If there's nothing shaking come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die, that's life
[Incomprehensible] that's life, ohh, my, my
