Get on the Right Side of Love
Written: 1975
Writers: David Jenneson, Alan Hovden
Status: Recorded but unpublished
Genre and Style: Funk rock
Comments: Dave: Get on the Right Side of Love is simple and catchy with a great guitar hook. Even though it lacks lyrical direction, if it had received radio airplay people would be humming it after one listen. However I’ve always imagined it being played in a black night club by James Brown with five female back up singers and a full horn section. It is a song that testifies.
Comments: Al: We weren’t R and B players (Pete had some experience and played a mean wah-wah pedal) but somehow pulled this one off.
Get on the right side of love
Let it show you what to do, yeah
Say those words I’m thinking
And I’ll give my heart to you, babe
When I feel that honey loving hand
Gonna love my man
Till I got him saying ooo yeah
Don’t try and make me try to love you
Why oh why do you think I’m being cruel?
It’s not as if you’ll break my heart
You didn’t have one from the start
Did you babe?
All you had was diamond rings
Gonna give a little give a little
Good advice to you babe
Get on the right side of love
Let it show you what to do
Say those words I’m thinking of
And I’ll give my heart to you, babe
When I feel that honey loving hand
Makes me wanna love my man
And suddenly you’ll realize
That your life comes down from the vine of loving
And diamonds just a dime a dozen
I walk out on the stage and sing
If got a good crowd, gonna shake that thing
For you babe
All those jerks who line the bar
I see their eyes all lined with stars
I knew it
Oooh it makes me shake my head
Gonna give a little, give a little
Good advice to you babe.
