True Love on the Side Lyrics

[Chorus]
I only put you down 'cause I want you so much
I only put you in a box, 'cause you're giving me a head rush
I only want your love, I want your love, want your love
I'm a lion in a party dress, I won't stop until I get the best
Yeah-yea-yea-yeah

[Verse]
Everybody knows they call me Brooklyn baby
Everyone's one true love on the side
(Love on the side, love on the side)
Everybody knows I'm American, baby
Watching me dance while you get h-high
(Get h-high, get h-high)
Everybody knows they call me trouble, baby
One of us comes from the white trash side
(White trash side, white trash side)


[Pre-Chorus]
I'm everything you want but it's hard to decide
'Cause everybody wants true love on the side
Love on the side, love on the side
Yeah-yea-yea-yeah

[Chorus]
I only put you down 'cause I want you so much
I only put you in a box, 'cause you're giving me a head rush
I only want your love, I want your love, want your love
I'm a lion in a party dress, I won't stop until I get the best
Yeah-yea-yea-yeah
[Verse]
Everybody knows they call me Brooklyn baby
Everyone's one true love on the side
(Love on the side, love on the side)
Everybody knows I'm American, baby
Watching me dance while you get h-high
(Get h-high, get h-high)
Everybody knows they call me trouble, baby
One of us comes from the white trash side
(White trash side, white trash side)


[Pre-Chorus]
I'm everything you want but it's hard to decide
'Cause everybody wants true love on the side
Love on the side, love on the side

[Bridge]
(Tell me when)
You try to get away but it can't be denied
'Cause everybody wants true love on the side
I'm everything you want but it's hard to decide
'Cause everybody wants true love on the side
Yeah-yea-yea-yeah

[Verse]
Everybody knows they call me Brooklyn baby
Everyone's one true love on the side
(Love on the side, love on the side)
Everybody knows I'm American, baby
Watching me dance while you get h-high
(Get h-high, get h-high)
Everybody knows they call me trouble, baby
One of us comes from the white trash side
(White trash side, white trash side)

Everybody knows they call me Brooklyn baby
Everyone wants true love on the side
(Love on the side, love on the side)
[Chorus]
I only put you down 'cause I want you so much
I only put you down 'cause I want you so much
I only put you in a box, 'cause you're giving me a head rush
I only put you in a box, 'cause you're giving me a head rush
I only put you down 'cause I want you so much
I only put you down 'cause I want you so much
I only want your love, I want your love, want your love
I'm a lion in a party dress
I won't stop until I get the best

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
