Lyrics

You're leadin' me down a one way, a one way
You're leadin' me down a one way street
Is it a game that you play, that you play
Here I've been thinkin' that you're so sweet

I do the givin' and you take
All of my lovin' and you make
Promises that you don't keep
Baby the price is too steep
You're leadin' me down a one way, a one way
You're leadin' me down a one way street

You've been paintin' a picture, it's a picture
Maybe it's pretty but it's not real
You better start lookin' elsewhere, lookin' elsewhere
Go find another heart you can steal
You got my wheels a turnin', setting my heart to burnin'
You never wanted a steady, you just wanted one that was ready
For you to lead down a one way, a one way
You're leadin' me down a one way street

(Repeat first four lines)

Maybe it won't be too long, you'll be singing the same song
You'll be poundin' the pavement, wonderin' which way that I went

You're leadin' me down a one way, a one way
You're leadin' me down a one way street
