Stacy Lattisaw: Love On a Two Way Street

Remarks:

This song has been done at least four times but this is the version I am most familiar with. It would easily make my top 20 songs of all time. It went to #2 on the American R&B charts in 1981.

Lyrics:

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’s finally goodbye, I know

With music softly playing, his lips were gently saying : “I love you”

He held me in desperation, I thought it was a revelation
And then he walked out

How could I be so blind, to give up love for 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 he laughs my name

With music softly playing, his lips were gently saying: “Honey, I love you.”
He held me in desperation, I thought it was a revelation,
And then he 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

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
