Lyrics
THE OTHER SIDE OF LOVE
(Allen/Sendars/Kotkov)
There's a gentle man in you who brings out the love in me
There's another man in you I never thought I'd see
Which one is real
Are you reachin' for a star
Or is pullin' down the sky...the way you are
Is this the other side of love
There's a tender way you say my name like a precious word
But you say it now as though you only mean to hurt
What made you change
Are you still the man I knew
Or is what I see tonight...a different you
Is this the other side of love
Who are you now
Who do you hope to be
If you need me
Please don't leave me
On the other side of love
I knew a man who held me and my heart stood still
Will I see that man again... You said I always will
All I see now
Is the darker side of you
Won't you tell me please...what happened to
The other side of love
