Local Guys

I used to dance with the local guys
And I used to meet their piercing eyes
They threw a slur or two
And I said right back at you
For I used to care and I don't know why

I used to look for love in them
I wanted to be a faithful friend
But they never came my way
I remember the things that they would say
Try as they might, they would never make me cry

Oh, I found it in the dark
I found it in my dreams
The other side of me
The other side of me

Oh, I loved the way it hurts
That they could only see
The other side, the other side
The other side of me

They used to love the way I'd run
Chasing me down for them was fun
I don't think that they knew
That part of me loved it too
I would grow bored when the night was done

I used to look for love in them
I wanted to be a faithful friend
But they never came my way
I remember the things that they would say
Try as they might, they would never make me cry
(Ooh ahh, ooh ahh)

Oh, I found it in the dark
I found it in my dreams
The other side of me
The other side of me

Oh, I loved the way it hurts
That they could only see
The other side, the other side
The other side of me

Oh, I found it in the dark
I found it in my dreams
The other side of me
The other side of me

Oh, I loved the way it hurts
That they could only see
The other side, the other side
The other side of me
