On The Other Side Of Town Lyrics - Crosby & Nash

I wouldn't hurt you for the world 

Even though yesterday 

I know I let you down 

You were naked on the table 

In the arms of another woman 

On the other side of town 

I left you laughing with a stranger 

But I confess that I knew 

She was gonna bring you pain 

When she offered you a needle 

It was long and it was shining 

And I saw it bring you down 

Phosphorescent lights harshly sounding 

The buzzing in my ears getting louder 

Flies bash their brains against the window pane 

Let's get out of here 

I wouldn't hurt you for the world 

And the worst of it is 

I've got to take you back again 

And I don't know how I'll make it 

Maybe someone else should hold you 

On the other side of town 

Trees are dying in the middle of the courtyard 

The daughter in the doorway wanted silver 

The other woman is already leaving 

Let's get out of here 

I wouldn't hurt you for the world 

And the worst of it is 

I've got to take you back again for much more pain 

And I don't know how I'll make it 

Maybe someone else should hold you 

Next time
