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

Ambrosia is a soft rock band from Los Angeles discovered in 1971 by Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Zubin Mehta, who featured the group as part of an All-American Dream Concert (Pops concert). It took them another four years to get signed to a record contract.

Between 1975 and 1982, Ambrosia racked up five Grammy nominations, toured with Fleetwood Mac, Heart, and The Doobie Brothers, and scored five US top 40 hits including two top fives: “Biggest Part Of Me” and “How Much I Feel”.

The group split in 1982, but reunited in 1989 and has continued touring and releasing compilations of their old hits. In 2015, the group released a new single, “Hopes and Dreams”, which was featured in the Fox series The Sparrows.
