Walk Right Back In The Wrong Direction

(John McGie/Jon Lundquist)


WALK RIGHT BACK (IN THE WRONG DIRECTION)

Walk right back in the wrong direction
Walk right out the door
There ain’t no need for satisfaction
I don’t want you anymore
Walk right back in the wrong direction
Walk right out on me
It’s okay if you stay away
That’s a lifetime guarantee 

I looked you up
In the morning papers
Just to see where you had been
I watched the TV
And the morning news
To see if you still loved him

They say your love is fading
You’re both not seen in public no more
And the new airplane
And Mercedes don’t match
The earrings that you wore 

Can we go back
To how we were before?
No!

CHORUS

I woke up to you
Just the other morning
Your face was on the food that I bought
But you don’t taste the same
As I remember
There’s sweetener in your box

You sure look happy
Or were your teeth just straightened that way
It sure hard to tell
From the things you sell
If you’re cheap or just overpaid

Can we go back
To how we were before?
No!

CHORUS

I heard your voice
On the local station
You sincerely lied very well
Your life’s quite nice 
For paradise
To bad you make it sound like hell

You breasts were made
By the very best
And the rest was made by everyone else
If you’re looking for love
Your best chance for success
Is to sleep with yourself
