Love on a Two-Way Street

About Love on a Two-Way Street

"Love on a Two-Way Street" is a soul ballad written by Sylvia Robinson and Bert Keyes in 1968. The song was originally recorded by Lezli Valentine, an artist signed to All Platinum, the record label that Sylvia Robinson co-owned with her husband, Joe. The song was then recorded by The Moments, an R&B vocal group signed to All Platinum subsidiary Stang Records, as filler for their 1968 album Not on the Outside, But on the Inside, Strong!. Sylvia and Joe decided to release the song as a single in March 1970 and it went on to become one of the biggest R&B hits of that year, spending five weeks at number one on Billboard's Soul Singles chart and reaching number three on the Hot 100 chart. Billboard ranked the record as the No. 25 song of 1970. It was also certified gold by the RIAA for sales of one million copies. more »

I found love on a two way street
And lost it on a lonely highway
Love on a two way street
And lost it on a lonely highway

True love,
Will never die
So I've been told
But now I must cry
It is finally goodbye
I know

With music softly playing,
Her lips were gently saying
"I love you"
She held me in desperation 
I thought it was a revelation
And then she walked out

How could I be so blind
To give up love the very first time
To be fooled is a hurting pain
To be loved and fooled is a crying shame
While I bear the blame
As she laughs my name

With music softly playing
Her lips were gently saying
"Honey, I love you."
She held me in desperation
I thought it was a revelation
And then she walked out

I found love on a two way street
And lost it on a lonely highway
Love on a two way street
And lost it on a lonely highway

Bye, bye baby, bye, bye
Lost it on a lonely highway
