Cherry
Lisa Shaw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If we get our hearts together
Take a chance on hell or heaven
In time we'll see
You decide who you would like to be
If we brave this stormy weather
Take a chance or maybe never
If you feel a bump in the road
If you need some time
Take it slow
Hold on
Boy pick it up now
Don't let a good thing stop
Take my hand
This really could get rough now
But I'm the cherry on top
Baby what's the chances if you hide
From me?
If you let your soul be better
We can face this world together
Alive and free
If you're feeling lost and alone
If you need a ride let me know
Hold on
Boy pick it up now
Don't let a good thing stop
Take my hand
This really could get rough now
But I'm the cherry on top
Hold on
Better think it over
Remember what you got
Take my hand
I really want to know ya
You'll be my cherry on top
I wanna be your cherry on top
I wanna be your cherry on top

The lyrics suggest that if two people take a chance on love, they may just experience something extraordinary.
The chorus "Hold on, boy pick it up now, don't let a good thing stop. Take my hand, this really could get rough now, but I'm the cherry on top" is the crux of the song. In this, the singer urges the other person to hold on to the relationship, and not let it fizzle out. It's almost as if she's saying that their love can endure and be the cherry on top of all their other accomplishments in life. The song ends with a plea, "I wanna be your cherry on top; I wanna be your cherry on top," indicating the depth of the singer's feelings for the other person.
Overall, "Cherry" by Lisa Shaw is a beautiful song about taking risks in love, facing uncertainties, and staying together despite the bumps in the road. It shows the power of love, its beauty, and its ability to enhance one's life.
