[Verse 1]
On one hand, I count the reasons I could stay with you
And hold you close to me, all night long
There's so many lovin' things I'd love to say to you
And on that hand, I see no reason why it's wrong

[Chorus]
But on the other hand, there's a golden band
To remind me of someone who couldn't understand
On one hand, I could stay and be your lover man
But the reason I must go is on the other hand

[Verse 2]
In your arms, I feel the passion I thought had died
When I looked into your eyes, I found myself
When I first kissed your lips, I felt so alive
I've got to hand it to you girl, you're somethin' else

[Chorus]
But on the other hand, there's a golden band
To remind me of someone who couldn't understand
On the one hand, I could stay and be your lover man
But the reason I must go is on the other hand

[Outro]
Yes, the reason I must go is on the other hand
