這首收錄於 Bruno Mars 首張錄音室專輯《Doo-Wops & Hooligans》中的《The Other Side》，是一首充滿靈魂樂感與流行律動的佳作。歌曲邀請了 Cee Lo Green 與 B.o.B 跨刀獻聲，透過歌詞探討了現實生活中的複雜心境，以及試圖尋找解脫、跨越界線的渴望。MV 以 Bruno Mars 輕鬆隨性的生活片段為視角，展現了他身為創作歌手在聚光燈外真實、多才的一面，與歌曲中那種「最好不要試圖理解」的深層意境相得益彰。
Bruno Mars - The Other Side (ft. Cee Lo Green & B.o.B) 中英文對照翻譯歌詞(Lyrics)
[Verse 1: Bruno Mars]
Truth of the matter is I'm complicated
事實上，我很複雜
You're as straight as they come
而你卻是再單純不過的人
You go 'bout your day baby
你過著你的日常，寶貝
While I hide from the sun
而我卻躲避著陽光
[Pre-Chorus: Bruno Mars]
It's better if you don't understand
最好是你不要試圖理解
It's better if you don't understand
最好是你不要試圖理解
It's better if you don't understand
最好是你不要試圖理解
'Cause you won't know what it's like 'til you try
因為在嘗試之前，你不會知道那是什麼感覺
[Chorus: Bruno Mars]
You know I've been waiting on the other side
你知道我一直在另一端等候
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
而你，只需要跨越這條界線
I could wait a whole lifetime
我可以等上一輩子
But you just gotta decide
但你只需要下定決心
You know I've been waiting on the other side
你知道我一直在另一端等候
[Verse 2: B.o.B]
If they say life's a dream, call this insomnia
如果他們說人生是一場夢，那就稱這為失眠吧
'Cause this ain't wonderland, this is the corner
因為這裡不是仙境，這裡是街角
And I'm the one who's on the corner
而我就是那個站在街角的人
[Verse 3: Cee Lo Green]
I've been feeling insane in between my eyes
我的腦海中一直感到瘋狂
I really can't explain what I feel inside
我真的無法解釋內心的感受
If you knew what I was, you'd run and hide
如果你知道我的真面目，你會轉身逃跑並躲藏起來
[Chorus: Bruno Mars]
You know I've been waiting on the other side
你知道我一直在另一端等候
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
而你，只需要跨越這條界線
I could wait a whole lifetime
我可以等上一輩子
But you just gotta decide
但你只需要下定決心
You know I've been waiting on the other side
你知道我一直在另一端等候
