Downside of Love
R.Sambora

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 didin't mean what we said
seems we never get past forgiveness
we try to hide, we never learn
to swallow our pride.
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 through 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 not, no, no
somehow we stand by each other
when we're desperate, and drowning in
the shadows of doubt.
On the down side of love
where the love turns to hate
we just can't relate
on the down side of love
'cause when it hurts you
it hurts you so good.
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 'nough, to give you up
and make me let go
make me let got oh no, no.
When you're on the down side of love
where the love turns to hare
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.
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 downside of love
No, no, no
downside of love
'cause it's a long, long road baby
downside of love.
