G                                         C 
On one hand I count the reasons I could stay with you 
G                           D   
And hold you close to me, all night long. 
G                               C 
So many lover's games I could play with you 
            A                       D    
and on that hand I see no reason why it's wrong 


          C                  G 
But on the other hand, There's a golden band 
       D                                G 
To remind of someone who would not understand 
C                                    G 
On one hand I could stay and be your loving man 
D                               G 
But the reason I must go is on the other hand 

G                                           C 
In your arms I feel the passion, I thought had died 
             G                          D 
When I looked into your eyes  I found myself 
G                                      C 
When I first kissed your lips I felt sooo alive 
             A                               D 
I've got to hand it to you girl,  you're something else
