Left for Dead on the Road of Love lyrics
by Don McLean
[Chorus]
Well, I've been left for dead on the road of love
I was doin' high speed with a load of love
Forgot the first creed in the code of love
All's fair in love and war
[Verse 1]
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 bleedin' through my shirt and tie
Bleedin', and I'll tell you why
[Chorus]
'Cause I've been left for dead on the road of love
I was doin' high speed with a load of love
Forgot the first creed in the code of love
All's fair in love and war
[Verse 2]
Well, now who is the guy, and when did he come?
When did he start to go beatin' your drum?
Well, he's hittin' on you, I'm feelin' numb
And she don't believe a word I told her
I'm cryin' on a gravel shoulder
[Chorus]
'Cause I've been left for dead on the road of love
I was doin' high speed with a load of love
Forgot the first creed in the code of love
All's fair in love and war
[Bridge]
Watch what you're doin'
Look where you're goin'
Give me a signal
Some way of knowin'
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 wrackin' my nerves
She always wiggles and swerves
She's gonna give her driver everything he deserves
[Verse 3]
Well, now who could want this to lie here alone
With a pallet of bricks, a pillow of stone?
Well, to think that one kiss pulled me out of my zone
And I wonder what's the change inside her
This road has got a long divider
[Chorus]
Well, I've been left for dead on the road of love
I was doin' high speed with a load of love
Forgot the first creed in the code of love
All's fair in love and war
[Outro]
All's fair in love and war
All's fair in love and war
All's fair in love and war
