A Bit on the Side

You just arrived in the city, Charlene Now you're working the underground scene You've been getting bolder Now you're leaning on my shoulder I can guess how you want things to be Climbing up this old money tree Well, that won't do it for you or me No, no I don't want no left or right I want up-n-down And a little bit o' lovin' on the side Well, it's none of my business, Charlene Though I couldn't help but notice, my darlin' The make-up don't quite cover up the early evening shadow On your enigmatic jawline, Charlene I have to say it's all right by me I don't care which way you lean But I don't want no left or right I want front-n-back And a little bit o' lovin' on the side It made me pause to consider, Charlene You may not be much different to me You got to earn a living With the tools that you were given Don't we all? If you see what I mean Everybody follows a dream But to beat the street, huh... we've got to eat, or so it seems I don't want no left or right I want in-n-out And a little bit o' lovin' on the side I have to say it's all right by me I don't care which way you lean To beat the street, huh... we've got to eat, or so it seems I don't want no left or right I want in-n-out Back-n-front Up-n-down Oh, oh And a little bit o' lovin' on the side
