"East Side West Side" lyrics

East side
West side
East side
West side

Oh, it's raining in my heart, baby
And I miss you so
I wish you well
Oh, but we both know
When it rains in here
It could well be sunny
On the other side of town
Where you live, honey

East side, west side
It all seems so unkind
Why they try to separate us
'Cause we're not two of a kind

My skin is dark, baby
And they know yours is light
If they separated us
Would that make things right?
Why can't see that we're people
And we feel the same
After all, what's the colour
Of religion or a name?

East side, west side (East side, west side, west side, east side)
It all seems so unkind
What you're doing, mama, what we're doing, baby
Must be blowing their minds

(East side, west side
West side, east side) Uh-huh

You live on the east side, baby
And I on the west
In different worlds
Separated from the rest
Oh, when we're in their worlds
See how they stare
They're lookin' right through us, baby
As though we were not there
Who do they think they are?
Putting the rap on us
What right have they got
To cause such a stinking fuss?
Ooh, is it because (Because)
Of our type of love?
They would try to destroy our happiness
Steal our time for us

(East side, west side
West side, east side)
What does it matter what they think of us?
(East side, west side
West side, east side)
Just as long as we're in love, what does it matter?

It's raining in my heart, baby
And I've missed you so
I wish you were here
Oh, but we both know
When it's raining in here
It could well be sunny
On the other side of town
Where you live, honey

East side, west side
West side, east side
It all seems so unkind
But it's funny, try to separate us
'Cause we're not two of a kind

East side, west side
West side, east side
It all seems so unkind
What we're doing
What we're doing, baby
Must be blowing their minds?

East side, west side
West side, east side
Some things
