Roll with the Punches

Roll, roll with the punches
Roll, roll with the punches
That really hurt me
Like a fist to the face I wasnt ready
To be knocked out of place
Suddenly everything I was sure of
Sinking below the depths of the surface
Its unexpected, it usually is
When youre rejected, or you take a hit
Suddenly everythings 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
Youve got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
If all life offers is black and blue
Youve 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 Im not really much a fighter
My mechanisms of defense are down
And my resistance is out on the town
I was alarmed by your attack
This isnt a boxing match
But Ill be damned if I ever let you win
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
Youve got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
If all life offers is black and blue
Youve 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 dont want to hear
Putting your fist into my ears
Filling me up with the dread and the fear leaving you all in pieces
Suddenly everythings thrown in a spin
No time to grow a thicker skin
What kind of situation am I in now?
Oh when life triesto knock all the wind out of you
Youve got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
If all life offers is black and blue
Youve got to hold, hold, hold your head up high
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
Youve got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
If all life offers is black and blue
Youve got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
