Rollin' With the Punches

Desire was his affliction
Misfortune was his fate
She became his addiction
And by then it was too late
She knew she’d found her victim
He knew that he’d found love
It wasn’t just his heart that tricked him
It was the brick in the velvet glove
Yeah he was takin' chances
And she was talkin' sweet
Now look how well she dances
When she’s shooting at his feet
He’s rollin' with the punches
For love you’ve got to fight
He’s rollin' with the punches
And they’ll be at it all night
He wasn’t looking for disaster
Just for a little thrill
But both their hearts beat faster
When she was waiting for the kill
Ask him what’s so appealing
He might answer with a grin
It’s love that keeps him feeling
And he takes love right on the chin
After all this he’s still standing
A little worse for wear and tear
She swings and they keep landing
He just doesn’t seem to care
He’s rollin' with the punches
For love you’ve got to fight
He’s rollin' with the punches
And they’ll be at it all night
He’s rollin' with the punches
She’s going to make him pay
He’s rollin' with the punches
Until one puts him away
He knew how much he wanted
He didn’t know how much he’d get
It ain’t over 'til it’s over
Don’t count him out just yet
He’s rollin' with the punches
For love you’ve got to fight
He’s rollin' with the punches
And they’ll be at it all night
He’s rollin' with the punches
She’s going to make him pay
He’s rollin' with the punches
Until one puts him away
