I thought I knew about the other side of life
And I thought temptation was just another word
I had it together, at school I knew it all,
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Cause I never read the lines they wrote upon the wall
And into love I never thought I'd fall
But when I see you standing there
The bright light of morning shining in your hair
I wanna have you all to myself
Make your life a whole lot better
And I can set you free, come on over to me

I used to live upon the dark side of the street
And I could hear the downtown highway thunder on
I could break away, I'd hope for better days
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
And I keeping myself from degradation just ain't easy
Cause I couldn't find anyone to please me
But when I see you standing there
The bright light of morning shining in your hair
I wanna have you all to myself
Make your life a whole lot better
And I can set you free, come on over to me

And when I see you standing there
The bright light of morning shining in your hair
I wanna have you all to myself
Make your life a whole lot better
And I can set you free, come on over to me.
