[Chorus] Your heart turned left and I was on the right You couldn't have hurt me more with dynamite Thought I was your destiny, but just before you got to me Your heart turned left and I was on the right. I almost had the battle won, what could I have said and done That put you in another's arms tonight? I don't know where I lost out, I just know without a doubt, Your heart turned left and I was on the right. [Chorus] Now my poor heart just moans and groans, I walked around just kicking stones Oh, cupid sure won't get another bite Honey, why'd you lead me on Without a warning you were gone. Your heart turned left and I was on the right. [Chorus] Yeah, your heart turned left and I was on the right. Your heart turned left and I was on the right. Your heart turned left and I was on the right
