Lyrics

You say she's fun to be with
But there's three words you omit
You don't wanna get hurt, I know
And that's why you won't commit
You pretend to be untouchable
But we both know that's a bluff
To keep you on the right side of heartbreak
And the wrong side of love
To keep you on the right side of heartbreak
And the wrong side of love
There's a shadow moving through you
A shadow someone cast
I don't know what happened to you
In the corners of your past
And just when it seems you're softening
Out comes the grand rebuff
That keeps you on the right side of heartbreak
And the wrong side of love
That keeps you on the right side of heartbreak
And the wrong side of love
You're half-crazy with desire
You crave a love to touch your soul
But you hide your inner fire
With impeccable control
Yes, something must have hurt you
Something hard and tough
That keeps you on the right side of heartbreak
And the wrong side of love
That keeps you on the right side of heartbreak
And the wrong side of love
The playing out of karma
Can be slow, it can be brisk
But nothin's gonna happen
Unless you take a risk
I didn't mean to make a speech
I'm just sayin' off the cuff
You're on the right side of heartbreak
And the wrong side of love
You're on the right side of heartbreak
And the wrong side of love
You're on the right side of heartbreak
And the wrong side of love
You're on the right side of heartbreak
And the wrong side of love
You're on the right side of heartbreak
And the wrong side of love
You're on the right side of heartbreak
And the wrong side of love
You're on the right side of heartbreak
And the wrong side of love
You're on the right side of heartbreak
And, brother, on the wrong side of love
