One Way Street
(Tyler)
6:59
Hey look out yonder, what's that I see
Well that old bogus honey coming after me
I thought you told her I was out of town
I wonder how she knowed I was hangin' around
Say, listen baby, don't go wastin' your time
You keep on comin' round you'll hear the same old line
You got a thousand boys, you say you need 'em
You take what's good for you and I'll take my freedom
'Cause lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
And honey, your head's a one way street
And I gotta go the other way
I thought I knew her, my cagey lady
How could my sunshine be so damn shady
She'll say she love to talk a conversation
But I'm the one that makes my situation
This one way city, that I thought I knew
It's such a pity honey, that's it for you
Because lately, it's been so hard now to make ends meet
And honey, your head's a one way street
I just gotta go the other way
There's nothin' over here I never showed ya
I made it pretty clear I'm glad to know ya
You know your brother Spike, he's on the level
But you always lookin' like you're mad at the devil
Don't say I cop a 'tude, it's all forgotten
It's just you're much too rude, your fruits are rotten
You know I work so hard to keep it alive
Now all I hear from you is nothin' but jive
Because lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
And honey, your head's a one way street
And I gotta go the other way, yes I do
Well baby it's been so hard now to make ends meet
And honey, your head's a one way street
And I really do feel that I got to be movin' on
Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby, hey baby
And your head's like a one way street
And you're foolin' everybody you meet
I said your head's like a one way street
And you're foolin' everybody you meet
Your head's like a one way street
Well you're foolin' everybody you meet
I said your head's like a one way street
And you're foolin' everybody you meet
I said your head's like a one way street
When you're foolin' everybody you meet
I said your head's like a one way street
When you're foolin' everybody you meet
I said your head's like a one way street
You got to get yourself back on your feet
Well no baby fooling everybody
Oh baby
Humming everybody
Chewing everybody
Booting everybody
Loving everybody
Licking everybody
