| Well before you get to meet your prince
|
| You’re gonna have to kiss a lot of frogs
|
| And before you score your sweetest hit
|
| You really have to write a lot of songs
|
| Before the nights of wine and raises
|
| Caviar and canapees
|
| Are days when the light at the end of the tunnel
|
| Is a freight train coming your way
|
| Roll off the treble, ride up the bass
|
| Roll back the last take and throw it away
|
| Roll with the punches and ride out the waves
|
| Hold out, life will roll out better days
|
| And when all you get’s a stone cold shoulder
|
| You gotta try to see the funny side
|
| And when all you are is one day older
|
| You better love to learn to love those lines
|
| When all around have promised you
|
| Gardens of roses and waterfalls
|
| But all they give are sweet fat nothings
|
| All it means is sweep them all
|
| Roll off the treble, ride up the bass
|
| Roll back the last take and throw it away
|
| Roll with the punches and ride out the waves
|
| Hold out, life will roll out better days
|
| When just getting through the day
|
| Is all you’re aspiring to
|
| What do you do when life is
|
| Tumbling down on top of you?
|
| Roll off the treble, ride up the bass
|
| Roll back the last take and throw it away
|
| Roll with the punches and ride out the waves
|
| Hold out, life will roll out better days
|
| Roll off the treble, ride up the bass
|
| Oh, roll back the last take and throw it away
|
| Roll with the punches and ride out the waves
|
| Hold out, life will roll out better days
|
| (Roll off the treble, ride up the bass)
|
| (Roll back the last take and throw it away)
|
| (Roll with the punches and ride out the waves)
|
| Ride out the waves
|
| Roll on better days |
