| I’ve waited twice as long as any man should
|
| To tell you how I feel
|
| You gathered in my chosen words
|
| And ground them underneath your heel
|
| I asked you for a bit of time,
|
| A little breathin' space
|
| But your gift to me was
|
| A rock n' a hard place,
|
| Rock n' a hard place (Leaves a man no place to go),
|
| Rock n' a hard place (Ain't no room for love to grow),
|
| Rock n' a hard place, Rock n' a hard place
|
| I laid too high a stake on lovin' you, babe,
|
| To let you say goodbye
|
| How could you think I’d last alone?
|
| I can’t go on. |
| There’s no use tryin'
|
| I’m askin' for a second chance,
|
| A little savin' grace
|
| You’re leavin' me between
|
| A rock n' a hard place,
|
| Rock n' a hard place (Leaves a man no place to go),
|
| Rock n' a hard place (Ain't no room for love to grow),
|
| Rock n' a hard place, Rock n' a hard place
|
| Won’t you tell me why
|
| You’re leavin' tonight
|
| Throwin' our love away?
|
| Don’t you see my plight?
|
| It just isn’t right
|
| To be left this way
|
| I’ve waited twice as long as any man should
|
| To tell you how I feel
|
| You gathered in my chosen words
|
| And ground them underneath your heel
|
| I asked you for a bit of time,
|
| A little breathin' space
|
| But your gift to me was
|
| A rock n' a hard place,
|
| Rock n' a hard place (Leaves a man no place to go),
|
| Rock n' a hard place (Ain't no room for love to grow),
|
| Rock n' a hard place, Rock n' a hard place
|
| Rock n' a hard place (Leaves a man no place to go),
|
| Rock n' a hard place (Ain't no room for love to grow),
|
| Rock n' a hard place, Rock n' a hard place |
