I got the good side of things Left you with both of the rings My fingers danced And swayed in the breeze The change in the wind took you down to your knees I got the good side of you Sent it out into the blue The people danced To the sound of your heart The world sang along to it falling apart But I sympathise And I recognise And baby, I apologise That I got the good side The good side of things ♪ I got the good side of life Travelled the universe twice So many thoughts I wanted to share But I didn't call because it wouldn't be fair Then I got the good side of new Found arms to fall right into I know how it looked It wasn't the plan And someday I hope that you'll understand I sympathise And I recognise And baby, I apologise That I got the good side The good side of things ♪ I'm sure we'll meet in the spring And catch up on everything I'll say I'm proud of all that you've done You taught me the ropes, and you taught me to love But I sympathise And I recognise And baby, I apologise That I got the good side The good side of things Sympathise Recognise Apologise That I got the good side The good side of things
