In the game of love Sometimes we get left behind When pushing comes to shove And happiness is so hard to find Far from love can break your spirit Paint a rosy outlook blue Darling you don't have to be afraid 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 get rough And no one else can carry that I'm on your side To be for you You can say 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 love only leaves you crying You don't have to be alone Come, I'll never keep on trying Cause baby you know I'll make it home I'm on your side When times are hard And you need some understanding I'm on your side When times get rough And no one else can carry that I'm on your side To be for you Mmm I'm not afraid when you come to me Makes it easier Makes it easier Come back to me Tell me I can save you If she tries to tear you apart Tear you apart I won't break your heart I'm on your side When times are hard And you need some understanding I'm on your side When times get rough And no one else can carry that I'm on your side Whenever you need me You can always count on me I'm on your side I'm on your side I'll be your friend I'm on your side I'm on your side Just like a friend I'm on your side I'm on your side I'm on your side I'm on your side
