I was living on the westside
When you brought me south
At first you didn't like the look of me
Your borders were closed
Although you said I'm bad company
You stayed in touch
You made it hard work for me
Working for your love
But now
Well we can settle down
We'll start a family
Cos' you're my best friend
And you're so good to me
Well we can settle down
We'll start a family
Cos' you're my best friend
And this is love song number 23
You were living in the city
You had the world at your feet
Yeah, you had a part-time job
Pleased to be living free
You made it hard work for me
I had to work for your love
And now
Well we can settle down
And start a family
Cos' you're my best friend
And you're so good to me
Well we can settle down
Start a family
Cos' you're my best friend
And this is love song number 23
Westside
Yeah we can settle down
We'll start a family
Cos' you're my best friend
And you're so good to me (so good, so good, so good)
And you're so good to me (so good, so good, so good)
And you're so good to me (so good, so good, so good)
Cos' you're my best friend (so good, so good, so good)
Start a family (so good, so good, so good)
And you're so good to me (so good, so good, so good)
And this is love song number 23
