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