Lyrics

I hear you laughing in some other room
And it makes me feel locked out
You say my passion often stifles you
And you need to move about
But I was taught that boys need girls
And girls need boys
Yet, you say that's not true
You would rather fool around than be alone with me
Well, that's alright for you
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
I've bought you sentimental roses
But you gave them all away
I've played you all my favorite records
Then we spent the night in talking
Talking all the time
You sent me home
I was so surprised to find that after all
It doesn't hurt to be alone
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
Well all the things you say make perfect sense to me
And somehow I'm still unsure
Then I catch myself going through the same old rhapsody
Rap boy, rap!
And I don't understand just what I'm doing to myself
I guess that's nothing new
'Cause when you meet someone who doesn't follow all the rules
It changes everything you do
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
'Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
