Rock in a Hard Place (Cheshire Cat) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was a take it or a leave it
Kind a Saturday night
I wish I could love you til the cows come home
Make it right
If it's a make-believe I say it ain't
And tell you then
Because if it's a dream I'm in, please wake me up
And smile again

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, close your eyes and what do you see
Ooh, look what in hell they did with your only belief

[Chorus]
She was a real top manner
Lies and no conniver
Heart pumping floozy
Late night driver
Her second-hand clothes
Smiling like a Cheshire cat

[Verse 2]
Said it was in and out and up and down the urching moon
Only a certain situation on the sea I'm who
Putting the ring around the rose n' pull the daisy chain
Cover your head and tell me you ain't from there and back again
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, close your eyes what do you see
Ooh, nothing but how you will live with your only belief in me

[Chorus]
She was a real top manner
Lies and no conniver
Heart pumping floozy
Late night driver
Her second-hand clothes
Smiling like a Cheshire cat

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Give a good one I want to be or not to be tonight
Why should I hold her down in bed when you should ride me right
Want you to give it all you got, no need to make amends
Cover your little mouth come up for air
I got the bends

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, close your eyes and what do you see
Ooh, nothing but how you will live with your only belief in me

[Chorus]
She was a real top manner
Lies and no conniver
Heart pumping floozy
Late night driver
Her second-hand clothes
Smiling like a Cheshire cat
A real top manner
Lies and no conniver
Heart pumping floozy
Late night driver
Her second-hand clothes
Smiling like a Cheshire cat

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
