Joe Nichols, “Another Side of You”
Nichols is the perfect singer for material like this. The song manages to sing of loving a woman’s weaknesses without condescension and of her daily challenges with quite a tinge of sympathy. The emphasis is more on how overwhelmed the woman is and how the man can’t believe she gets it all done, so the lines about her burning the coffee and waking up in a pissy mood don’t have that “I love my little idiot” tone that’s been around since Bobby Goldsboro’s “Honey.” It’s a great song for Mother’s Day, come to think of it. Good stuff.
Grade: B+

Who wrote these lyrics? Excellent
When you rolled out of bed and stomped your toe, and I heard you almost cuss
And I fought back the urge to laugh, just listen to you fuss
Then you overdid the coffee, couldn’t get your hair just right
When I smiled and said good morning, you looked mad enough to fight
Well that’s another side of you, That I’m in a love with too
Yeah that mini van is a far cry from the sports car in your dreams
and that dead end job is pushin back vacation more it seems
you got soccer at 4:30, and ballet class by 5:00
And I call you talkin’ flirty, you ask have I lost my mind
Well that’s another side of you, that I’m in love with too
When you lay down in my arms, let go of all that stress
whisper honey I love you, with your head on my chest
when the world’s strongest woman is my lady, when the day is through
Well that’s another side of you, that I’m in love with too
If I had to do the things you do, well I’d just lose my mind
somehow you get’em fed and bathed and settle down by nine
and I hear you down the hallway, as you’re layin’ down to sleep
and pray the good lord watches over them for you and me
Well that’s another side of you, that I’m in love with too
Well that’s another side of you, that I’m in love with too
the lyrics are all correct accept for the part that says “and pray the good lord watches over them FOR you and me” … the correct verse is “and pray the good lord watches over them AND you and me”
great song, Joe did it again!!
Jamey Johnson Wrote this, the most underated true country artist in Nashville his songs are amazing as well as his voice!
i love this song it reminds me of myself im a divorced mother with 2 teenagers, and i do all the running around back and fourth to school, to dr visits and everything in between, and i manage to just keep going along with holding down a 6 day a week job. great song, great singer, great artist, best song i have heard in a long while. it cheers me up. the only sad part of it is that i dont have anyone to hold me so i can relieve my stress too. i dont think anyone but Joe Nichols could have sung this song any better, thumbs up………… keep the good work up
