[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Before the nights of wine and raises
Caviar and canapés
Are days when the light at the end of the tunnel
Is a freight train coming your way

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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 try to learn to love those lines

[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Middle 8]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
(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
