[Verse 1]
They all just think that we friends
Nobody know we hit on the low
We love to play pretend
But when it’s just me and you
Oh I know you want the truth
But the truth is

[Chorus]
I need you to need me back
But you ain’t got no time for that
Then you say love is hard to find
When you gonna realize
I’ve always been by your side
I need you to need me back
But you ain’t got no time for that
Then you say love is hard to find
You really gotta realize
I’ve always been by your side

[Verse 2]
You want me to hit it again
You want me to hit it again
You’re callin all up on my phone
You’re popping up in my DM
I call you, I hit you right back
I call you again and again
But you never pick up the phone
You playing hard to get

[Chorus]
I need you to need me back
But you ain’t got no time for that
And you say love is hard to find
When you gonna realize
I’ve always been by your side
I need you to need me back
But you ain’t got no time for that
And you say love is hard to find
You’ve really gotta realize
I’ve always been by your side

[Bridge]
I’ve always been your side
I’ve always been your side
I’ve always been your side
I’ve always been your side
I’ve always been your side
I’ve always been your side
I’ve always been your side
I’ve always been your side

[Chorus]
I need you to need me back (I’ve always been your side)
But you ain’t got no time for that (I’ve always been your side)
Then you say love is hard to find (I’ve always been your side)
When you gonna realize
I’ve always been by your side
I need you to need me back (I’ve always been your side)
But you ain’t got no time for that (I’ve always been your side)
And you say love is hard to find (I’ve always been your side)
You’ve really gotta realize
I’ve always been by your side

[Outro]
I’ve always been your side
I’ve always been your side
Oh I’ve always been your side
I’ve always been your side
