And hold you close to me all night long
So many lover's games I'd love to play with you
On that hand, there's no reason, why it's wrong.

Chorus:
But on the other hand, there's a golden band
To remind me of someone who would not understand
On one hand I could stay and be your loving man
But the reason I must go, is on the other hand.

In your arms, I feel the passion I thought had died
When I looked into your eyes, I found myself
And when I first kissed your lips, I felt so alive
I've got to hand it to you girl, you're something else.

Chorus:
But on the other hand, there's a golden band
To remind me of someone who would not understand
On one hand I could stay and be your loving man
But the reason I must go, is on the other hand.

The reason I must go is on the other hand..
