Downside Of Love
Richie Sambora · Undiscovered Soul [1998]
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
On the downside of love
Where the love turns to hate we just can't relate
On the downside 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, no, no
Somehow we stand by each other
When we're desperate and drowning in
The shadows of doubt
On the downside of love
Where the love turns to hate, we just can't relate
On the downside of love
When you're misunderstood, '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 go oh no, no, no
When you're on the downside of love
Where the love turns to hate, we just can't relate
On the downside 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 downside of love
Stand by my side, baby
When you're on the downside of love
No, no, no
Downside of love
Love's just a long, long road, baby
Downside of love
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
On the downside of love
Where the love turns to hate we just can't relate
On the downside 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, no, no
Somehow we stand by each other
When we're desperate and drowning in
The shadows of doubt
On the downside of love
Where the love turns to hate, we just can't relate
On the downside of love
When you're misunderstood, '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 go oh no, no, no
When you're on the downside of love
Where the love turns to hate, we just can't relate
On the downside 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 downside of love
Stand by my side, baby
When you're on the downside of love
No, no, no
Downside of love
Love's just a long, long road, baby
Downside of love
