Vol. 2-greatest Hits Lyrics - 1965
Writer(s): kay/gordon/kay/gordon
That's life, that's what 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 in june.
That's life, funny as it seems.
Some people get their kicks,
Steppin' on dreams;
But i don't let it get me down,
'cause this ol' word keeps getting 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, i can't deny it,
I thought of quitting,
But my heart just won't buy it.
If i didn't think it was worth a try,
I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die
