When they hit your heart, you've gotta roll with the punches

When the goin' gets tough

They tell me no but I don't listen, oh, I say no, no, no

Don't tell me where to go

I march along to my own rhythm

I'ma do it my own way, they don't got a thing to say

If you knock me down, then I'ma get back up (Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm not as weak as they think I look (Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

No, they don't see it when I throw right hook (Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh, but no, no, no, I'ma leave the black and blue

When they hit your heart, you've gotta roll with the punches

Stay quick on your feet and let 'em know

'Cause when the times are rough, that's time to show

When the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'

(Go-goin', goin', le-le-let 'em know)

(Get goin', goin', gotta roll with the punches)

(Said get goin', goin', le-le-let 'em know)

When the goin' gets tough

The tough get goin'

(Go-goin', goin', le-le-let 'em know)

(Get goin', goin', gotta roll with the punches)

(Said get goin', goin', le-le-let 'em know)

When the goin' gets tough (Get goin', goin')

Put up a fight, I'll keep them dancin'

Gotta stay on my toes, never know which way they go

Oh, I'm not shy, I got the fire

Nobody's stoppin' me 'cause I was born ready

If you knock me down, then I'ma get back up (Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm not as weak as they think I look (Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

No, they don't see it when I throw right hook (Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh, but no, no, no, I'ma leave the black and blue

When they hit your heart, you've gotta roll with the punches

Stay quick on your feet and let 'em know

'Cause when the times are rough, that's time to show

When the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'

(Go-goin', goin', le-le-let 'em know)

(Get goin', goin', gotta roll with the punches)

(Said get goin', goin', le-le-let 'em know)

When the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'

(Go-goin', goin', le-le-let 'em know)

(Get goin', goin', gotta roll with the punches)

(Said get goin', goin', le-le-let 'em know)

When the goin' gets tough (Get goin', goin'), the tough get goin'
