Ooh...ooh...ooh... Oh...oh... In the game of love Sometimes we get left behind When pushin? comes to shove And happiness is so hard to find A fall from love can break your spirit Paint a rosy outlook blue Darlin', you don't have to fear it 'Cause baby, I'm here for you I'm on your side when times are hard And you need some understanding I'm on your side when times gets tough And no one else can care enough I'm on your side to be for you You can you're free But sometimes you're the last to know You can come to me, yes, you can When some heartache really lays you low If your lover leaves you cryin? You don't have t be alone Call my number, keep on tryin? 'Cause baby, you know I?ll be home I'm on your side when times are hard And you need some understanding I'm on your side when times gets tough And no one else can care enough I'm on your side to be for you Mmm Havin' a friend when you come to then end Makes it easier (Makes it easier) Come back to me, I can save you when she Tries to tear you apart (Tear you apart) I won't break your heart, no I'm on your side, baby, when times are hard And you need some understanding I'm on your side, baby-baby, when times gets tough And it seems that no one else can care enough I'm on your side, baby, whenever you need me you can always count on me, yeah I'm on your side, yes, I am, you see I'm on, hey, on your side, hey...hey...hey...yes I?ll be your friend to the very end I'm on your side, I'm on your side, baby, yes, I am, ooh Just like a bridge on troubled water I'm on your side, I'm your side, yeah....
