Left For Dead On The Road Of Love

(album: Believers - 1981)

Well I've been left for dead on the road of love
I was doing high speed with a load of love
Forgot the first creed in the code of love
All's fair in love and war

Well I'm an honest man and I try to be true
I did unto her like I'll do unto you
Now you prefer to tell me we're through
I'm bleeding through my shirt and tie
I'm bleeding and I'll tell you why

Well I've been left for dead on the road of love
I was doing high speed with a load of love
Forgot the first creed in the code of love
All's fair in love and war

Well now who is the guy and when did he come?
When did he start to go beating your drum?
Well he's hitting on you. I'm feeling numb
And she don't believe a word I told her
I'm crying on a gravel shoulder

Well I've been left for dead on the road of love
I was doing high speed with a load of love
Forgot the first creed in the code of love
All's fair in love and war

Watch what you're doing
Look where you're going
Give me a signal
Some way of knowing
Well now who's at the wheel in the life that drove by
I could swear it was her made me shift into high
She's got those dangerous curves
And they're wracking my nerves
She always wiggles and swerves
She's gonna give her driver everything he deserves

Well now who could want this to lie here alone
With a palate of bricks, a pillow of stone
Well to think that one kiss pulled me out o' my zone
And I wonder what's the change inside her?
This road has got a long divider

Well I've been left for dead on the road of love
I was doing high speed with a load of love
Forgot the first creed in the code of love
All's fair in love and war

All's fair in love and war
All's fair in love and war
