Lyrics to One Way Love
Lyrics to the song One Way Love as recorded by Bryan Ferry.
One Way Love
Written By Berns/Ragavoy
I thought I could find
A kind of girl
Who'd think that I was the only
Guy in the world
No more half -hearted kisses
Oh that's bad enough
Oh no more teardrops
No one way love
Don't look for someone
Who likes to love fast
You know that kind of lovin'
Will never last
If she's fast and furious
Oh that can be tough
Oh no more teardrops
No one way love
Well there are girls
Who like to cheat and flirt
Those kind of girls
Are the worst of all
Oh how they lie
And oh how they hurt
Take it from me
I know what I say
I'll find me a girl
Who knows how to play
That game of heartbreak
Oh that's mighty rough
Oh no more teardrops
No one way love
One way love
One way love
One way love
One way love
One way love
One way love
One Way Love
