[Chorus]
I can have a dark side
If you want me to
I can have a dark side
I can develop my brooding potential
If pain's what you want in an act
Pain I can do
I can have a dark side too
I can have a dark side too

[Verse 1]
I called my girlfriend up on the phone
I said, "Hey, girlfriend, what's going wrong?"
She said, "I'm breaking it off with you
"I feel as if the m-m-magic has gone"
I said, "Hey baby, what're you talking about?
I thought that everything was just fine"
She said, "That's exactly my point:
I just get so annoyed how you're so happy all the time"
I need somebody deeper than you (somebody deeper than you)
Someone with a little third-dimension"
I said

[Chorus]
I can have a dark side
If you want me to
I can have a dark side
I can develop my brooding potential
If pain's what you want in a man
Pain I can do
I can have a dark side too
I can have a dark side
I can have a dark side
I can have a dark side
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 2]
I wrote a letter to Mr. Sony
I said, "Hey, Sony, what's g-going down?
I've got a record and I reckon it's wicked
And I think you should s-spread it around"
He said, "Hey Tim, I quite like your work"
He says, "It's clever and quirky
But I promise you this:
You could be clever as Voltaire
But it won't get you nowhere
If you wanna sell discs
Clever never made no one rich
It doesn't appeal to the teenage market
The teenage market!"


[Chorus]
Well, I can have a dark side
If you want me to
I can have a dark side
I can reveal my tortured internals
If pain's what you want in an act
Pain I can do
I can have a dark side too
I can have a dark side too


[Verse 3]
Daddy never came to my ball games
Where are you daddy?
Daddy never came to my ball games
He never loved me
Daddy never came to my ball games daddy
Daddy never came to my ball games daddy
Daddy never came to my ball games
Daddy never came
He's only sleeping

[Chorus]
I
I can have a dark side
If you want me to
If you want me to
Yeah I
I can have a dark side
If you want me to
Dark side to ya
I
I can have a dark side
If you want me to
If you want me to
Yeah I
I can have a dark side
If you want me to (If you want me to)
Dark side to ya
I
I can have a dark side
If you want me to
