The Dark Side of Me (Live at Wisseloord Studios) (feat. Stageband Jazz Orchestra) [Live]

There's a side to me that cannot bear the daylight
There's a side to me that you could call perverse
But when you ring me at the crack of dawn
I'll soon be there, I won't be long
An' I'll hold you while you tell me where it hurts

I will laugh when I see someone tripping over
I'll sometimes even laugh when you are in tears
But there are things that I take seriously
Like motherhood and being me
And even the current state of affairs

There are parts of me that do not smell like butterflies
There are parts of me that frankly downright stink
But your secrets are all safe with me
That's my one idiosyncrasy
I will not spill the beans, I am no fink

The fact is that I sometimes just won't like you
The fact is that I might pretend or lie
But I won't talk behind your back
About all those traits you seem to lack
And why you always, always dissatisfy

There's a side to me that's downright unsympathetic
There's a side to me I don't like about myself
But the side of me like the most
Is the love I feel so grandiose
For you and only you and no one else

For you and only you and nobody else
