I thought I knew about the other side of life.
And I thought temptation was just another word
I had it together, at school I knew it all, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Cause I never read the lines they wrote upon the wall.
And into love I never thought I'd fall.
[Refrain]
But when I see you standing there
The bright light of morning shining in your hair,
I wanna have you all to myself,
Make your life a whole lot better
And I can set you free, come on over to me.
I used to live upon the dark side of the street.
And I could hear the downtown highway thunder on.
I could break away, I'd hope for better days, ooh, ooh, ooh.
And I keeping myself from degradation just ain't easy,
Cause I couldn't find anyone to please me.
[Refrain]
And when I see you standing there
The bright light of morning shining in your hair,
I wanna have you all to myself,
Make your life a whole lot better
And I can set you free, come on over to me.
Come on over.
