Between a Rock and a Hard Place
I thought that falling in love was basic, something any fool could do;
And, being smart, I knew I’d be O.K.
But now I know it’s not so simple, ‘cause I missed my step with you,
And I really lost my balance right away.
And now I’m caught between a rock and a hard place.
Caught between a kiss and a sigh.
Torn between ‘No way,’ and ‘I love you,’
In that trap between ‘Hello’ and ‘Good-bye,’
Yes, I’m caught between a rock and a hard, hard place.
Well, I’m not even too sure I like you, and perhaps it’s not required;
Maybe a lover’s just not meant to be a friend …
But I am certain that I love you. Oh, Babe, you really light my fire,
And I guess it’s pretty stupid to pretend.
So now I’m caught between a rock and a hard place.
Caught between a kiss and a sigh.
Torn between ‘No way,’ and ‘I love you,’
In that trap between ‘Hello’ and ‘Good-bye,’
Yes, I’m caught between a rock and a hard, hard place.
I’ve a feeling you’re not good for me, and maybe I’m no good for you,
And I think we really should have stayed apart.
I feel I’m losing my identity and I suspect you feel that too,
And it’s doing so much damage to our hearts.
But we’re still caught between a rock and a hard place.
Caught between a kiss and a sigh.
Torn between ‘No way,’ and ‘I love you,’
In that trap between ‘Hello’ and ‘Good-bye,’
Yes, we’re caught between a rock and a hard, hard place.
My head says ‘We must end it now,’ while my heart cries ‘Let me stay!’
How it might have been, I guess we’ll never know …
But now the best thing I can do for you is just get up and walk away:
If you really love me too, you’ll let me go …
Because we’re caught between a rock and a hard place.
Caught between a kiss and a sigh.
Torn between ‘No way’ and ‘I love you’,
In that trap between ‘Hello’ and ‘Goodbye’.
Yes, we’re caught between a rock and a hard, hard place.
This is a song lyric.
