One Way Street - Tim O'Brien

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
