One-Way Street

Words and music © 1992 by Joe Monzo


The lyrics are pretty self-explanatory: yet another beautiful woman with whom I became very infatuated, and who didn't seem quite as interested in me as I was in her.


        I was drivin' along

          but I must have read the wrong sign

        I was drivin' along
          but I must have read the wrong sign

        I was movin' fast
          and it was you that I was tryin' to find


        Now facing me

          is everybody I would meet

        comin' right at me
          is everybody I would meet

        now honey, that's when I found out
          that lovin' you is a one-way street


        Now I don't wanna get no ticket

          and I don't wanna meet up with no cop

        I don't wanna get no ticket
          and I don't wanna meet up with no cop

        but I can't find nowhere to turn
          and baby, I can't stop


        Now I have to get out

          and stand up on my feet

        I have to get out
          and stand up on my feet

        'cause I've been goin' the wrong direction
          down your one-way street


        I've been goin' the wrong direction

          down your one-way street

        I've been goin' the wrong direction
          down your one-way street

  • If you like stuff that's more intellectual, I've written a book.
