Kevin O'Neal - Roll With The Punches lyrics

Roll with the punches is what I tell To people when things dont go too well When you go for the gold and come back empty When the ups are few and the downs are plenty When you talk with the girl that you always desired You busted a move but the move backfired When life puts you in the little crunches Dont give up, you've got to roll with the punches Roll it baby Work, no matter what occupation Any time's good time for vacation Everyday's the same you can't believe the monotony So when the weekend comes its like you had a lobotomy You can't do a thing without the boss start yellin' It wouldn't be bad if his breath wasn't smellin' A good day's work for a good day's pay But that's before Uncle Sam takes a portion away Now a lot of times you feel just like quittin' But without a job you're home alone sittin' Checkin' the want ads for jobs to fill Watchin soaps, Geraldo and Oprah, and Phil My advice is to roll with with it honey And soon you'll find that you'll be in the money Expense accounts and three martini lunches And thats what you get when you roll with the Punches Roll it baby You got to roll with the punches Roll with it Roll it baby Lotto, take your chance for a dollar If I win then I'll scream and holler High on the hog is the way to be And it's def livin in the lap of luxury I picked 4 numbers they were all okay For the 5th and 6th I used my birthday But I erased my birthday and said better yet I'll use the birthday of a girlie that I just met I filled out the ticket gave it a kiss for luck Handed it to the agent with a brand new buck Went home to watch TV on a Saturday night 4 numbers came up and they were all alrright Now what happened next, nearly made me drop dead It wasn't her birthday it was mine instead I said next time I'll just play my hunches But what the heck, I'll just roll with the punches Roll with it You got to go with the flow Like this Women, let me tell you about 'em Can't live with them, can't live without em The ones you like only seem to hate you The ones you hate only seem to date you Girls will often tell you, you come on too strong You got to take it slow to make the love last long But I say, the early bird catches the worm The late bird gets the gilrie with the two dollar perm Man, that put me in dilema Case in point a fly girl name Gema I met this lady at a quiet place About 5 years ago we were face to face I stepped up to her, tossed the first line Like fishin' I was wishin' that the girl would be mine I told my best jokes and she started smilin' A voice inside said yo Young you're stylin' But then Gema really startin actin' silly Cuz she broke up with her boyfriend Billy She wanted advice and she was coming to me I said you need Dear Abby not the Young MC Because I don't mind being a shoulder to cry on But I need one who needs a body to lie on 'Cause nowadays I got girls by the bunches See I got smart and just rolled with the punches Roll it baby You got to go with the flow Roll it baby Nowadays I got girls by the bunches I got smart and just rolled with the punches
