(Roll, roll with the punches) (Roll, roll with the punches)
That really hurts me like a fist to the face I wasn't ready to be knocked out of place Suddenly everything I was sure of Is 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 a spin No time to grow a thicker skin What kind of situation am I in now?
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 Bit I'm not really much of a fighter
My mechanisms of defense are down And 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
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
Oh, when all I want is a little stability Some time without any bruises You go and tell me the things that I don't wanna hear Putting your fists into my ears
Filling me up with the dread and the fear Leaving me 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?
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 Yeah, 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
