There we are, on the side of the gutter on the street
Oh son of mine, why, gotta know why oh why oh?
I don't know Son, tell me why
All the lights stay on all night
In our life he lies at night, oh God

But you know
We need to hear both sides of the story
Oh, both sides of the story

And I know why, you don't know our side of town
It waits in the darkness on fire
It's all that I'm gonna try
And somebody, oh made me realize that I'm done, I'm done, I'm done

But you know we need to hear
Both sides of the story
We need to hear both sides of the story

Hеy, no, no, no, no, oh no, no
Oh, la, la, la, la
Both sides, side out
Hey, oh... why
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

Yеs I know I'm outside
Yes, it's the middle of the night
Yes I'm hard on myself now
Oh my son of mine...

Yes I'm all by myself
Don't ask me how or why I know
But we always need to hear both sides of the story

By the time you heard this I will be gone
We'll have some help, I will move on
You and I, we were like husbands and wives
And between us, this one heart
Will have two lives

And you know, we'll see both sides of the story
Both sides of the story
Oh, both sides of the story
Yes, both sides of the story

Oh, both sides of the story
Both sides of the story
Both sides of the story
Both sides, both sides of the story

Both sides of the story, yeah, yeah
(Both sides of the story)
Both sides, both sides of the story
(Both sides of the story)

Both sides of the story
(Both sides of the story)
Both sides of the story
(Both sides of the story)
Must hear both sides of the story
