Both Sides Now

There's another side to everything

Connected like the ring around your finger

And I know this like I know myself

Not very well, yet I'm no stranger

But it won't be long

I see both sides now

When nothing's gained, then something's lost

Pay half the price at twice the cost

We're crystallized, we stand alone

Conviction holds us like a stone, oh yeah

But I know it won't be long

'Cause I see both sides now

Yeah, we got to learn how to listen before we learn to talk

We got to learn how to crawl before we learn to walk

And if you want a little peace, sometimes you got to fight

We got to walk through the darkness, oh

Before we stand in the light, oh yeah

But I know it won't be long

I see both sides now

We're always somewhere in between

We never taste the sweet extreme

And we're crystallized, we stand alone

Conviction holds us like a stone

I know it won't be long

I see both sides now

Well, we got to learn how to listen before we learn to talk

You got to learn to crawl before you learn to walk

If you want a little peace, well, sometimes you got to fight

Got to walk through the darkness, oh

Before you stand in the light, oh yeah

And I know it won't be long

I see both sides now

Come on

Well, we got to learn how to listen before we learn to talk

You got to learn to crawl before you learn to walk

If you want a little peace, well, sometimes you got to fight

Got to walk through the darkness, oh

Before you stand in the light, oh yeah

I know it won't be long

I see both sides now

Both sides now

Both sides now

Come on, both sides now

Oh baby come on, both sides now

Oh yeah, both sides now

I see both sides now

I see both sides now
