Well I heard it through the grapevine
   I guess it must be true
   I heard that crowd you're running with
   Has changed your attitude
   It's been a month of Sundays
   Since you've been around
   But you always had a good time
   On my side of town
  
   I knew that you were born to
   The finer things in life
   Caviar and foreign cars and bright big city lights
   Now you're out there dancin'
   In a fancy evening gown
   But you always had a good time
   On my side of town
  
   Don't forget the one who really loves you
   When the glamour starts to let you down
   And I'll be right there waitin'
   'Til you come back around
   'Cause you always had a good time
   On my side of town
  
   I still dream about you
   Every time the music starts
   I still hold you close to me
   Even though we're far apart
   If I ever cross your mind
   You know where I'm bound
   'Cause you always had a good time
   On my side of town
  
   Don't forget the one who really loves you
   When the glamour starts to let you down
   I'll be right here waitin'
   'Till you come back around
   'Cause you always had a good time
   On my side of town
  
   You always had a good time
   On my side of town
