There's a danger of getting so close to you   there comes a time   when the walls fade away   and when love turns to bitter blue   sometimes it feels like it's so hard to stay   Last night we went to bed angry   we didin't mean what we said   seems we never get past forgiveness   we try to hide, we never learn   to swallow our pride.    On the down side of love   where the love turns to hate   we just can't relate   On the down side of love   when you're misunderstood   'cause when it hurts you   it hurts you so good.    Baby life has no guarantee   never knowing where love's gonna lead   even through you're a part of me   we have to deal with our pain separately   sometimes we both feel like victims   with no easy way out not, no, no   somehow we stand by each other   when we're desperate, and drowning in   the shadows of doubt.    On the down side of love   where the love turns to hate   we just can't relate   on the down side of love   'cause when it hurts you   it hurts you so good.    The times we share the tenderness   are the times that keep us alive   you get in my face, you rough me up   but baby you know   can't hurt me 'nough, to give you up   and make me let go   make me let got oh no, no.    When you're on the down side of love   where the love turns to hare   we just can't relate   on the down side of love   when you're misunderstood   'cause when it hurts you   it hurts you so good.    Downside of love   love's just a long, long road baby   yes there's a down side of love   stand by my side baby   when you're on the downside of love   No, no, no   downside of love   'cause it's a long, long road baby   downside of love.
