When things get bad at home
you don't feel like being alone
And you find yourself inclined to look around.
For 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.

The life I'm livin' 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 hangin' on
And love comes from the other side of town.

(Chorus)
