Be On The Safe Side

Be On The Safe Side

A note of thanks to Tom Wilson Weinberg for his lyric "Not Gonna
Stop Loving Men" which planted the seed for this song.)

We don't have to stop loving each other
We don't have to stop loving ourselves

There's talk of a quarantine, talk of a plan
To stop the love from flowing, woman to woman, man to man
But that is not the answer to this crisis that we're in
We need to pull together for a healing to begin

And we don't have to stop loving each other
We don't have to stop loving ourselves
We don't have to sacrifice our passion and our pride
We've just got to be on the safe side

Now where there's a will there is always a way
And where there are people, ten percent will be gay
We've always been known for having such creative minds
And if we put them all to use I know that we will find

That we don't have to stop loving each other
We don't have to stop loving ourselves
We don't have to sacrifice our passion and our pride
We've just got to be on the safe side

There are those who want to blame us
Point a finger, try and shame us
And tell us that the love we feel is wrong
But we'll soon enough forget them
If we refuse to let them
When they try to take away the very thing that makes us strong

And we're not gonna stop loving each other
Were not gonna stop loving ourselves
Were not gonna sacrifice our passion and our pride
We're just gonna be on the safe side
