Lyrics

Aww, there's somebody on a motorcycle looking all sad
And there's a sign with a great big arrow on it that says "one way"
I wonder why that makes him sad?
Hey, is she really as beautiful as you said?
Uh-huh
Are you gonna be seeing her over at her place tonight?
Uh-uh
I'm so lonely, I wish I was dead
There is nothing but heartbreak ahead
Yes, I lost my true love
All because of a sign that said
One way (one way)
The sign said one way
I don't understand
Yeah, tell us about it
I revved up my cycle
And I cruised toward the house where she lives
(Lives, lives)
As I turned up the street
A police person shouted, "what gives?"
(She up and flashed her badge and said, "what gives?")
"You can't go that way, buddy," she said
And she pointed up over my head
To a sign on a post on my baby's street that read
One way (one way)
The sign said one way
My heart skipped a beat
When she said I could see her tonight
(Tonight, tonight)
But she lives to the left
And that arrow there points to the right
(The arrow on the sign was pointing right)
Oh, why must they keep us apart?
Our love's doomed before it can start
And I feel like that sign with the arrow
Is piercing my heart
One way (one way)
The sign said one way
But wait, what's that sound?
Hey, could I be about to receive a visit from my guiding angel?
Hi, I'm your guiding angel
How about that?
I've got an idea to lay on you
Listen, why don't you ride your bike around the block
And come in from the other end of the street?
Then you'll go past her house the right way
Hey, what a great idea, gee, thanks a lot
Oh, it was nothing, really
I rode 'round the block to her doorway with wings on my wheels
(Wheels, wheels)
I'd waited so long for a kiss, now I know how it feels
(She kissed him and he knows just how it feels)
And I shout to the heavens above
Twelve short words that I'm extra proud of
That arrow-shaped sign will not keep me away from my love
One way (one way)
The sign said one way (the sign said one way)
The sign said one way
One way
One way
One way
One way
