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 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 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 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.
