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 didn't mean what we said
   Seems we never get past forgiveness
   We try to hide we never learn to swallow our pride
  
   CHORUS
   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 though 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 oh no, no
   Somehow we stand by each other
   When we're desperate, and drowning in the shadows of doubt
  
   CHORUS
  
   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 'enough, to give you up
   And make me let go, make me let go, oh no, no
  
   CHORUS
  
   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 down side of love
   No, no no
   Downside of Love
   'Cause it's a long, long road baby
   Downside of Love
