Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I call you sugar, if you call me honey
Does this mean you've got a hand in my fate?
If you take my money, if I take your liberty
Does it mean it's all down to love and hate?
If you open doors for me, I'll have the manners to respond
I'll treat you like mine
Ah, baby, ah baby
[Verse 2]
Sunshine's better on the other side
Sunshine's better when you make it shine
The sun shines better
Oh, sunshine's better on the other side
The other side of the hill
The sun shines better
[Verse 3]
If I call you lover, and you if call me daddy
Does it mean that we're in love?
If you give me all your hate
Open up the garden gate
Does that mean we're in love?
Tell me sugar, call me honey
[Verse 4]
Come on darling, I'll just take all my money
We can run away naked with the flames of desire
Running through the water like birds of a feather
Like birds of a feather
[Verse 5]
I tell you, sunshine's better on the other side
Sunshine's better on the other side
Sunshine's better on the other side
Sunshine's better every time you make that smile of yours appear
Sunshine's better on the other side
The other side of the stream
Let's run in tonight, let's run in tonight
Sunshine's better on the other side of the flames
Come on, darling, let's jump in tonight
Sunshine's better on the
Smile of yours appear
[Verse 6]
You chortle, chuckle, giggle, and mumble
And swing like a bitch
Till the day is done
Sunshine's better on the other side
Skinny dip, skinny dippin' down, skinny dippin' way down
Better on the other side
They tell me that the sunshine's better on the other side
Better on the other side, you know
They tell me that the sunshine's better over there
Better over there, better over there
[Verse 7]
Running naked
Naked through the fire
Sunshine's better on the other side
Sunshine's better than you've ever seen before in your life
