The exact meaning

Can you pleasehelp me a little here:
What exactly does the second line mean in this:
I don �t drink coffee I take tea my dear
I LIKE MY TOAST DONE ON THE SIDE
To go with my tea? Toast without anything on it?
I �d really appreciate an answer from a native speaker, thanks in advance. I �m making a song worksheet.

It should be "I like my toast done on one side" - it �s a Sting lyric, and like a lot "poetry", doesn �t really mean anything specifically, and isn �t regularly used. It means the toast is toasted on one side only, and still regular bread on the other, but as far as I know, only Sting is a fan of this type of bread preparation... |

Wow! I didn�t expect that! Thank you so much! I thought it was something like "salad on the side" or something.
Thanks again, have a great time!
