Lyrics[]
Left home when I was only sweet sixteen
Chasing blind love and a bunch of broken dreams
Don’t know how I thought I’d be a queen
I could do anything
And somehow I end up here, I don’t know why
I still believe that
Love is on my side
Love is on my side
Love is on my side
Maybe not tonight
I can feel it when it rains
I can feel it still runnin’ through my veins
Ran so fast I couldn’t even grow
Forgot where I belong
Sold my body on a dirty cold floor
Yet, I believe that
I believe that
Love is on my side
Love is on my side
Love is on my side
My side
Oh, maybе not tonight
(Love is on my side) Love is
(Lovе is on my side) Love is, love is
(Love is on my side) Love is on my side
Maybe not tonight
