You're walking down the street
Not really going' anywhere
When suddenly you meet
A one-way love affair
The way she says hello
Sends shivers through your heart
And all at once you know
You couldn't break apart
And if I had my chance again
I'd do it just the same
And if I had some words to say
I'd say them all again
Now I think you know
Just what you started there
Cos people say that ours
Was a one-way love affair
You're wakin' in the night
And reachin' out for someone
The need to hold her tight
Is more than you can bear
You close your eyes again
Imagine she's beside you
Too scared to turn around
And find that she's not there
And when I think of all you said
It hurts me just the same
And now I know the sun has gone
Oh, and left me with the rain
They ask me how I am -
I tell them I don't care
I just say that ours
Was a one-way love affair
People say that ours
Was a one-way love affair
Oh, a one-way love affair.
