Love On A Two Way Street
The Moments Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found love on a two way street
And lost it on a lonely highway
Love on a two way street
And lost it on a lonely highway

True love,
Will never die
So I've been told
But now I must cry
It is finally goodbye
I know

With music softly playing,
Her lips were gently saying
"I love you"
She held me in desperation
I thought it was a revelation
And then she walked out

How could I be so blind
To give up love the very first time
To be fooled is a hurting pain
To be loved and fooled is a crying shame
While I bear the blame
As she laughs my name

With music softly playing
Her lips were gently saying
"Honey, I love you."
She held me in desperation
I thought it was a revelation
And then she walked out

I found love on a two way street
And lost it on a lonely highway
Love on a two way street
And lost it on a lonely highway





Bye, bye baby, bye, bye
Lost it on a lonely highway

on I Don't Want To Go

Lately I been Known
For making up excuses
And all too many times
Wondering what the use is now
Nothing like it used to be
When you and me
Were all I ever dreamed of

Dreams just don't come true
Just the way you planned them
And looking back in time
I still don't understand just how
The feeling comes and goes
And before I start to lie
I want you to know

[Chorus]
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
Cause it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did

Did we turn away
Just when we saw it coming
And could we have been saved
Or would we still
Be running scared
The space became so wide
That no matter how I tried
There was just no place to hide

Ohh Baby

[Chorus]
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
Cause it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did

Repeat 2x
[Chorus]
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did

I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before

I Just
(But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me)
I Just
(I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before)

I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like
Just like before
