I Got The Right Street (But The Wrong Direction)

(album: Rags To Rufus - 1974)

I got the right street
But the wrong direction
Help me find the way
To your affection
I'm on the right train
But the wrong track
Come on boy
Help me get it all back

You know I love you baby
Don't tell me maybe
I got the right street baby
But the wrong direction

Told me that out love would last forever
You would always be here by my side
But you found somebody new
And left me sitting right here
Wallowing in my pity and my pride

I got the right street
But the wrong direction
Help me find the way
To your affection
I'm on the right train
But the wrong track

Come on boy
Help me get it all back

You know I love you baby
Don't tell me maybe
I got the right street baby
But the wrong direction

Told me you'd be living for my affection
Oh you say your love grows stronger every day
But as soon as another woman be playing in your backyard
You break my heart and throw my dreams away

I got the right street
But the wrong direction
Help me find the way
To your affection
I'm on the right train
But the wrong track
Come on boy
Help me get it all back

You know I love you baby, don't say maybe

Got the right street, but the wrong direction [repeat to end]
