I'm not the easiest person to love   I'm often the one who lets things go unresolved      Yet you choose to be   on the side of me   on the side of me   Yet you choose to be    on the side of me   on the side of me      I'm not too proud of some things    I've done in my life   The skeletons in my closet    Are too big for me to hide      Yet you choose to be   on the side of me   on the side of me   Blessed Charity   You're on the side of me   on the side of me      'Cause everyone needs a friend to hold   when it's cold outside   and there's no place to go   Everyone needs a friend to hold   all alone I cried   there was no place to go   I remember when nobody cared   but you      I'm not the easiest person to love   But you, you've opened your heart to show me what I'm worth      'Cause you choose to be   on the side of me   on the side of me   What a mystery   You're on the side of me   on the side of me      'Cause everyone needs a friend to hold   when it's cold outside   and there's no place to go   Everyone needs a friend to hold   all alone I cried   there was no place to go      I remember when nobody cared   I remember when nobody cared   Nobody cared   But you      Yeah you choose to be   on the side of me   on the side of me
