On one hand I count the reasons and I could stay with you 
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 

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 

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 
Yeah, the reason I must go is on the other hand
