‘Cause I come from the wrong side of town
My heart is bound and tied
To a love that I must hide
‘Cause I know there’s idle gossip going ‘round
You’ll have to set me free
You’re much too good for me
‘Cause I come from the wrong side of the town
I can’t buy the things it’s true
That you’re accustomed to
You seem to be ashamed when I’m around
Now there’s no place for me
In your society
‘Cause I come from the wrong side of town
I’ve loved you much too long
I can’t believe it’s wrong
But those waggin’ tongues will always be around
Our love can never be
While they’re condemning me
‘Cause I come from the wrong side of town
Why must we have to do
What others want us to?
They only want to tear our dream-world down
They’ll regret it when it’s too late
They’re hearts are full of hate
‘Cause I come from the wrong side of town
‘Cause I come from the wrong side of town
