One Way Street Lyrics
Hey look out yonder, what's that I see
Well that old bogus honey coming after me
I thought you told her I was out of town
I wonder how she knowed I was hangin' around
Say, listen baby, don't go wastin' your time
You keep on comin' round you'll hear the same old line
You got a thousand boys, you say you need'em
You take what's good for you and i'll take my freedom
'Cause lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
Ooooooh....yes it has
And honey, your head's a one way street
And I gotta go the other way
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ...
I thought I knew her, my cagey lady
How could my sunshine be so damn shady
She'll say she'll love to talk a conversation
But i'm the one that makes my situation
This one way city, that I thought I knew
It's such a pity honey, that's it for you
Because lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
And honey, your head's a one way street
I just gotta go the other way
Ha ha ha ha ha
You know what i'm talkin' about baby
? (I've seen how those butterfly tie good on those pants) ?
I'm gonna get me some a that
Ha ha ha
There's nothin' over here I never showed ya
I made it pretty clear I'm glad to know ya
You know your brother spike, he's on the level
But you always lookin' like your mad at the devil
Don't say I cop a 'tude, it's all forgotten
It's just you're much too rude, your fruits are rotten
You know I work so hard to keep it alive
Now all I hear from you is nothin' but jive
Because lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
And honey, your head's a one way street
And I gotta go the other way, yes I do
Well baby it's been so hard now to make ends meet
And honey, your head's a one way street
And I really do feel that I got to be movin' on
Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby, hey baby
And your head's like a one way street
And you're foolin' everybody you meet
I said your head's like a one way street
And you're foolin' everybody you meet
Your head's like a one way street
Well you're foolin' everybody but me
I said your head's like a one way street
And you're foolin' everybody you meet
I said you're head's like a one way street
When you're foolin' everybody you meet
I said you're head's like a one way street
When you're foolin' everybody you meet
I said you're head's like a one way street
You got to get yourself back on your feet
Well no baby fooling everybody
Oh baby humming everybody
Chewing everybody
Booting everybody
Loving everybody
Licking everybody
Well that old bogus honey coming after me
I thought you told her I was out of town
I wonder how she knowed I was hangin' around
Say, listen baby, don't go wastin' your time
You keep on comin' round you'll hear the same old line
You got a thousand boys, you say you need'em
You take what's good for you and i'll take my freedom
Ooooooh....yes it has
And honey, your head's a one way street
And I gotta go the other way
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ...

And honey, your head's a one way street

I'm surprised, all these comments about the song being about talking a girl to piss off, but none mentionning what I thought was the point of the song? Maybe I got it all wrong lol but to me, the lyrics "you got a thousand boys, you say you need em" and "lately it's been so hard to make ends meet", plus "you're headin down a one way street, and you're foolin everybody but me" etc, all kind of indicated the one way street in question was some kind of pr0st!tution, like this song always kinda reminded me of Roxanne by the Police in a way, you know what I'm saying? Like, he's telling her if that's how she wants to deal with stuff, he wants no part in it Maybe I'm overinterpreting
Such an awesome song. I can't beleive there are no comments on it. I think it's about a guy who was used by a promiscous woman and now he's telling her to piss off.
I don't what this means but I agree with Bobbyjoint.....awesome! Haven't listened to it in ages and put it on in the car today, just a quality song, really good.
yep, great song. definitely about telling a girl to piss off.
"your head's a one way street, and I've gotta go the other way."
The meaning's already been explained. For me, this is one of their greatest ever songs, along with Seasons of wither, Walk this way, Sweet emotion, Joanie's butterfly, Dream on, Back in the saddle, Nobody's fault...

Is this a cover of an old blues song? One of my Favorite Aerosmith rockers "My cagey lady", I Thought was "A Cajun Lady" The most interesting thing about this song is that someone has to be going the wrong way. I figured the lyrics said that, but maybe not... It would have made more sense if it were called dead end street, if the girl he is singing to is off track, but possibly he is implying he is going the wrong direction
If you ever get the luck to see them play this song it will be one of the treats of your life. I really am a huge fan of old school Aerosmith , there really has not been much since the first four albums that really rocks my boat the way those records did in fact the only thing that comes immediately to mind is livin on the edge
Sorry had to add hangman jury
