From Both Sides

Rules and jewels and Ferris wheels
That busy dancing away in fear
Well, every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at life that way
But now it's just another show
You laugh and laugh at me when you go
And if you care, don't let me know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From where I'm losing still somehow
It's love's delusions I recall
I really don't know

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
But now friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
When something lost, not something gained
Nearly every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From where I'm losing still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know how at all

I've looked at life from both sides now
From where I'm losing still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know how at all
I've looked at life from both sides now
From where I'm losing still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know how
