In the game of love
Sometimes we get left behind
When pushing comes to shove
Happiness is so hard to find

A fall from love can break your spirit
Paint a rosy outlook blue
Darling, you don't have to fear it
'Cause baby, I'm here for you

I'm on your side when times are hard
And you need some understanding
I'm on your side when times gets rough
And no one else can care enough
I'm on your side to be for you

You can say you're free
Sometimes you're the last to know
You can come to me
When some heartache lays you low

If your lover leaves you crying
You don't have to be alone
Call my number, keep on trying
You know that I will be home

'Cause I'm on your side when times are hard
And you need some understanding
I'm on your side when times get rough
And no one else can care enough
I'm on your side to be for you

Having a friend when you come to the end
Makes it easier, makes it easier
Come back to me, I can save you when
She tries to tear you apart, tear you apart
I won't break your heart

I'm on your side when times are hard
And you need some understanding
I'm on your side, you know I love you, oh
Yes, I do, when times get rough
And no one else, no one else can care enough
I'm on your side to be for you, for you
