“ STUCK BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HEARTBREAK”
written by: Otto Nilsen, Gene Austin, Alan Lee

Pretty as a rose in May, your beauty takes my breath away
But when I try to get close like a rose you can cause me pain

Well there ain’t nothin’ I can say or do
Cause baby I’m in love with you and I always be true
Don’t you know that...

Ooh I’m stuck between a rock and a heartbreak, Yeah
Ooh I’m stuck between a rock and a heartbreak

You’d think by now I’d live and learn
Keep my self from gettin’ hurt
But like a moth to a flame
I keep comin’ back gettin’ burned

Why can’t my heart just let you be
My mind is always tellin’ me
I’ve got to be free
Don’t you know that

Ooh I’m stuck between a rock and a heartbreak
You know that I’m
Ooh I’m stuck between a rock and a heartbreak

Well I’ve given up on figuring out
When you’re tellin’ truth and when you’re fakin’
Whenever you want you can take my heart
And I can’t stop it from breakin’

(solo)

I’ve given up on figuring out
When you’re tellin’ truth and when you’re fakin’
Whenever you want you can take my heart
And I can’t stop it from breakin’

You’d think by now I’d live and learn
Keep my self from gettin’ hurt
But like a moth to a flame
I keep comin’ back gettin’ burned

Why can’t my heart just let you be
My mind is always tellin’ me
I’ve got to be free
