[Verse 1]
When things get bad at home, you don't feel like being alone
And you find yourself inclined to look around
The feelings we once shared are just no longer there
And love comes from the other side of town

[Chorus]
Where love means just an hour with your stand-in
And not an empty house where love just has been
Since everything we've built with love was not on solid ground
Now love comes from the other side of town

[Verse 2]
The life I'm living now just don't seem right somehow
But it's the best way to get by that I've found
There's no love left at home, we're both just hanging on
And love comes from the other side of town

[Chorus]
