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
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 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 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 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, 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
