ONE WAY
I’m so lonely, I wish I was dead
There is nothing but heartbreak ahead
Yes, I lost my true love all because of a sign that said:
“One Way”—The sign said “One Way”
I revved up my cycle and I cruised toward the house where she lives
When I turned up the street, a policeperson shouted, “What gives?”
“You can’t go that way, buddy,” she said
And she pointed up over my head
To a sign on the post on my baby’s street that said:
“One Way”—The sign said “One Way”
My heart skipped a beat when she said I could see her tonight
But she lives to the left, and that arrow there points to the right
Oh, why must they keep us apart?
Our love is doomed before it can start
And I feel like that sign with the arrow is piercing my heart
“One Way”—The sign said “One Way”
I rode down the block to a doorway with wings on my wheels
I waited so long for a kiss, now I know how it feels
And I shout to the heavens above
Twelve short words that I’m extra proud of:
“That arrow-shaped sign will not keep me away from my love!”
“One Way”—The sign said “One Way”
