A Bit on the Side

You just arrived in the city, Charlene Now you're working the underground scene And you've been getting bolder Now you're leaning on my shoulder I can guess how you want things to be Climbing up this old money tree Well, that won't do it for you or me No, no I don't want no left or right I want up 'n' down And a little bit o' lovin' on the side Well, it's none of my business, Charlene Though I couldn't help but notice, my darlin' The make-up don't quite cover up the early evening shadow On your enigmatic jawline, Charlene I have to say it's all right by me I don't care which way you lean But I don't want no left or right I want front 'n' back And a little bit o' lovin' on the side, yeah It made me pause to consider, Charlene You may not be much different to me You got to earn a living with the tools that you were given Don't we all? If you see what I mean Everybody follows a dream But to beat the street, ah, we've got to eat, or so it seems I don't want no left or right I want in 'n' out And a little bit o' lovin' on the side Oh, I have to say it's all right by me I don't care which way you lean To beat the street, ah, we've got to eat, or so it seems I don't want no left or right I want in 'n' out Back 'n' front Up 'n' down Oh, oh And a little bit o' lovin' on the side
