Lyrics of Other Side of Town by Chris Cornell

verse

We met at a party 'bout almost two years ago
There was a part of me that she just didn't know
I tried to hide it from her but it didn't take long
Before she would follow me and see where I go

verse

I wanted to tell her but I just didn't know how
And every time I spoke the words just wouldn't come out
Everyone will tell you that old habits die hard
And it's just the same for me

pre-chorus

She wouldn't compromise
She wanna stand her ground
She wouldn't talk to me
She wouldn't make a sound
She wanna say goodbye
I wanna reconcile
What type of shit is she on?

chorus

I should have left that side of town alone
I should have left that side of the town alone
I should have left that side of town alone
A long time ago, woah

chorus

I should have left that side of town alone
I should have left that side of the town alone
I should have left that side of town alone
A long time ago

verse

I'm guilty it's getting to me, but she wasn't home
Keep trying to call her, but she won't pick up the phone
My conscience is speaking to me but I'm in the wrong
She don't want to talk to me, she'd rather go

verse

I tried to apologize for the lies that I told
She don't want to hear it and tells me leave her alone
I didn't appreciate her until she was gone
Now it's too late for that

pre-chorus

She wouldn't compromise, yeah
She wanna stand her ground, yeah
She wouldn't talk to me
She wouldn't make a sound, yeah
She wanna say goodbye, yeah
I wanna reconcile, yeah
What type of shit is she on?

chorus

I should have left that side of town alone
I should have left that side of the town alone
I should have left that side of town alone
A long time ago, woah

chorus

I should have left that side of town alone
I should have left that side of the town alone
I should have left that side of town alone
A long time ago

verse

She won't even talk to me, no
She won't even talk to me, no
She won't even talk to me, no
She won't, she won't

verse

She won't even talk to me, no
She won't even talk to me, no
She won't even talk to me, no
She won't, she won't

pre-chorus

She wouldn't compromise, yeah
She wanna stand her ground, yeah
She wouldn't talk to me
She wouldn't make a sound, yeah
She wanna say goodbye, yeah
I wanna reconcile, yeah
What type of shit is she on?

chorus

I should have left that side of town alone
I should have left that side of the town alone
I should have left that side of town alone
A long time ago, woah

chorus

I should have left that side of town alone
I should have left that side of the town alone
I should have left that side of town alone
A long time ago
