Roll, roll with the punches
|
Roll, roll with the punches
|
|
That really hurt me
|
Like a fist to the face
|
I wasn't ready
|
To be knocked out of place
|
Suddenly everything I was sure of
|
Sinking below the depths of the surface
|
It's unexpected, it usually is
|
When you're rejected
|
Or you take a hit
|
Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin
|
No time to grow a thicker skin
|
What kind of situation am I in now?
|
|
[Chorus]
|
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
|
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
|
If all life offers is black and blue
|
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
|
|
Little weapons over the phone
|
They like to threaten the life that I know
|
They say get over here and get into the ring
|
But I'm not really much a fighter
|
My mechanisms of defense are down
|
My resistance is out on the town
|
I was alarmed by your attack
|
This isn't a boxing match
|
But I'll be damned if I ever let you win
|
|
[Chorus]
|
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
|
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
|
If all life offers is black and blue
|
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
|
|
When all I want is a little stability
|
Some time without any bruises
|
You go and tell me the things that I don't want to hear
|
Putting your fist into my ears
|
Filling me up with the dread and the fear leaving you all in pieces
|
Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin
|
No time to grow a thicker skin
|
What kind of situation am I in now?
|
|
[Chorus]
|
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
|
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
|
If all life offers is black and blue
|
You've got to hold, hold, hold your head up high
|
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
|
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
|
If all life offers is black and blue
|
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
|
