People tell you what I need

Is a lesson in defeat

Got you bothered, got you down

Not so sure you want me 'round

Baby, I'm on your side

You don't even have to read my mind

I'm on your side

We'll talk about 'em all back home

Those who'd come to your defense

Would not laugh at your expense

Don't waste time and bear a grudge

Towards the ones who should not judge

Baby, I'm on your side

You don't even have to read my mind

I'm on your side

We'll talk about 'em all back home

It's not easy sufering fools

Grown up children can be cruel

Baby, I'm on your side

You don't even have to read my mind

I'm on your side

We'll talk about 'em all back home

Baby, I'm on your side

You don't even have to read my mind

I'm on your side

We'll talk about 'em all back home

Baby, I'm on your side

We'll talk about 'em all back home
