The Wrong Side of Town
Embracing Love Against All Odds
Lyrics
Every time I feel like walking out the door
Expressing a desire to leave or end a situation.
When I really just can't take it any more
Reaching a point where the current situation is intolerable.
Those whispers and lies
Referring to deceptive communication and false information.
The crazy disguise
Mentioning a disguise that may be irrational or erratic.
Won't fool me into leaving you
Asserting resilience against attempts to deceive and leave.
'Cause I know what's better
Claiming knowledge of a better alternative.
And if there's stormy weather
Expressing commitment to endure challenges.
We'll ride it through
Commitment to weather difficulties together.
I'm from the wrong side of town
Acknowledging origin from a socially challenging environment.
They say I'm bringing you down
Awareness of being perceived as a negative influence.
I'm from the wrong side of town
Reiteration of being from a disadvantaged neighborhood.
I still have the right to your love
Asserting entitlement to love despite challenges.
So I just have to fight for your love
Expressing determination to fight for love.
Your friends can talk about me when I'm not around
Acknowledging discussions about oneself in absence.
Doubting you can't live without me
Highlighting the doubt about the partner's ability to live without them.
Lose the love that we've found
Emphasizing the risk of losing a valuable love.
But I can't escape the feeling of fate
Feeling a sense of inevitability or destiny in the relationship.
What feels so right can never be wrong
Believing that what feels right can't be considered wrong.
Tell them where we're going
Instructing to inform others about the relationship's direction.
Tell them that I know I'm where I belong
Confidently claiming to know one's rightful place.
I'm on the wrong side of town
Reiterating origin from a socially challenging environment.
They say I'm bringing you down
Recognition of being perceived as a negative influence.
I'm on the wrong side of town
Reiteration of being from a disadvantaged neighborhood.
I still have the right to your love
Asserting entitlement to love despite challenges.
So I just have to fight for your love
Expressing determination to fight for love.
I'm from the wrong side of town
Acknowledging origin from a socially challenging environment.
They say I'm bringing you down
Awareness of being perceived as a negative influence.
I'm from the wrong side of town
Reiteration of being from a disadvantaged neighborhood.
Your friends they're talking about me
Noting discussions among friends about the relationship.
Saying you won't live without me
Friends expressing the belief that the partner can't live without them.
I hope you won't ever doubt me
Expressing hope that the partner will never doubt the speaker.
