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
