Lyrics:

On one hand I count the reasons I could stay with you
And hold you close to me, all night long
There's so many lovin' things I'd love to say to you
And 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 couldn't understand
On the one hand, I could stay and be your lover-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
When I first kissed your lips, I felt so alive
I've got to hand it to you, girl, you're somethin' else

But on the other hand, there's a golden band
To remind me of someone who couldn't understand
On the one hand, I could stay and be your lover-man
But the reason I must go is on the other hand
Yes, the reason I must go is on the other hand
