Two Sides Of Love
Ijahman Levi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You never hear about it
It's not the thing you talk over with friends
You never see it coming until it begins

But something stepped in between us
It's taken all of our time alone
In her heart love remains, but is seldom shown
So why does she cry herself to sleep at night?
Why do I have to work so hard to make things right?
To fall in love came naturally
To make it last is so hard, you see
I'm caught in between the two sides of love

A kiss goodbye, a kiss hello
You wonder why she get's lonely
You've got to show her, don't tell her
She's your one and only, yeah

So why does she cry herself to sleep at night?
Why do I have to work so hard to make things right?
To fall in love came naturally
To make it last is so hard, you see
I'm caught in between the two sides of love

We make promises, promises
And late at night you make big plans
Someday we'll run away and leave the love demands, yeah

So why does she cry herself to sleep at night?
Why do I have to work so hard to make things right?
To fall in love came naturally
To make it last is so hard, you see
I'm caught in between the two sides of love

Two sides of love
Two sides of love




Two sides of love
Two sides of love

How sweet is love?
And love has her up and downs
Theres two sides of love
Its like having peace of mind
And all the joy you can find
You express yourself amplified
Yeah?
Isn't it a crying shame
How love easy love gives the blame
When love was the one who changed

Sometimes its your choice
(and laughter... )
There's really two sides of love
Still love is the strength of all those given life at all given times
Love holds all major keys
How sweet is love
And she flows as she pleases
Theres two sides of love
Love makes the world go round.
How sweet is love
And love really has her ups and downs.
Theres two sides of love
To believe is to actually feel
Love is a question and its own given answer
Embracing herself as she pleases
Yeah and isn't it a crying shame how easily love gives the blame?
you will feel all the spirits and all the pains,
You wont feel like you wont be loved again. Theres two sides of love
Still love is the strength of those given life at all times

How sweet is love
And she flows as she pleases
Theres two sides of love (Sweet love)
Love makes the world go round...
