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
|
