lyrics

Couldn't help yourself from laughing out of place
well you nearly gave yourself away
but crashed right back to earth
when the corners of her mouth curved down
she's got you figured out by now

She handed me a rose looking up from those long lashed eyes
on the sidewalks of the east side
she's not so innocent I know
But she knows yes she knows yeah she knows how to move me
She's got me figured out by now

East side woman, she's got me where she wants me
I'm gonna try to hold my ground
East side woman it's been a lifetime of resistance
but I can feel my defences coming 
down down down down

She got used to having fire at the door She sees flames everywhere she goes
she don't mean no harm it's just the way the world has moved her
she's got you figured out by now

She breaks hearts all over town just to find a new shade of red
to paint the canvas that she keeps on the floor beside her bed
she don't mean no harm no it's just the way the world has moved her
she's got you figured out by now

East side woman
she's got me where she wants me
I'm gonna try to hold my ground
East side woman
it's been a lifetime of resistance
but I can feel my defences coming 
down down down down

I can't help myself from smiling at the memory
in that diner off of main street on a Sunday
she always knows how to make me laugh dispel my grief
she says I'm going to steal her heart
but I think it's she, that is the thief

East side woman she's got me where she wants me
I'm gonna try to hold my ground
East side woman it's been a lifetime of resistance
but I can feel my defences coming  down down down down
coming down down down going down down down

East side, east side woman

Sandra Bouza Toronto, Ontario

Most of the music we listen to never really gets under our skin. As pleasant and catchy as it may be, it skims along the surface, like a stone skipping across water. Every now and then, if we are really lucky, we encounter an artist like Sandra Bouza who gets right down into our blood and bones. An artist whose voice stops us in our tracks. ... more
