Song title: One way street
One way street
Well if the sun should fall from the sky tomorrow
If the rain brings a tear to your eye I would share your sorrow
If you must go, then take your leave
Our love was strong, our love was sweet
But we were walking on the wild side, running down a one way street
In the night, I see only the fire in your eyes
The morning light brings the shadows of your lies
And so the change has come today
And for our wrongs well we must pay
We were walking on the wild side, running down a one way street
Oh my darling I must, I must confess
This can't be love, no I am just a man possessed
And so the tide has turned to day
We can turn and walk away
'Cause we were walking on the wild side, running down a one way street
Yes we are
Girl, we're walking on the wild side, running down a one way street
Notes:
These are the lyrics of the reworked 2010 version
One way street
One, two, three, four
Here we go
If the sun should fall from the sky, tomorrow
If the rain brings a tear to your eye I would share your sorrow
But you must go if you can't take the heat
Our love was fine, our love was sweet
But we were walking on the wild side, running down a one way street
When at night, the moon shines, rolling in your eyes
Sometimes, yeah sometimes, I can't forget your lies
But oh the changes come today
And for your wrongs well you must pay
And we're walking on the wild side running down a one way street
It's a dead end baby
Big man do your thing
If and oh, my darling I, I must confess
That this can't be love though I must be a man possessed
When I look in your eyes so bright
Your walking and your dress fits you just right
But babe we're walking down a dead end, running down a one way street
Well if a man could change the things he feels inside
If for once I could turn and maybe swallow some of my pride
But for the wrongs oh yes we must pay
So its bye bye baby today
And we'll go walking down the wild side running down a one way street
Phantom do your thing
Oh yes, oh yes
Yeah when I think of all the girls that I have missed
Well I know I would give them up for just one kiss
It's mmmm we, we are the same kind
And to leave you baby I'd have to go blind
And we're walking on the wild side, running down a one way street
Oh yes we are
We'll keep on walking on that bad side, running down that one way street
Oh yes we will
We'll keep on walking down that bad side, running down that one way street Notes:
