Thought You Were on My Side

Thought You Were On My Side--Cock Robin

Not without reason have I been wrong

Just a few tough demands

On a personal friend I could lean on

Desperate and selfish I know that I was

We drank all our fill

But I'd swear there was poison in my cup

Of your good intentions what has become

I thought you were on my side

Must you add the weight

You said it would be even

When splitting up the stakes

I thought you were on my side

Were we not the rage

Down the center line

What's yours is yours and mine

Just like always

Hurting for freedom hell-bent for lust

It's an unlikely thing that I'd be bumping in

To someone I could trust

I'm far from resigning

Though I'm faint from exhaust

Just because I'm on edge

Do I have to let somebody come push me off

Is it the belonging or something you've lost

I thought you were on my side

Must you add the weight

You said it would be even

When splitting up the stakes

I thought you were on my side

Were we not the rage

Down the center line

What's yours is yours and mine

Just like always
