Aerosmith - 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 a-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
Ooh, yes it has
And honey, your heading down a one way street
And I gotta go the other way

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 heading down a one way street
I just gotta go the other way

You know what I'm talkin' about, baby
I seen that butterfly you tried to put on your can
I'm gonna get me some a that

Ah, 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, hey
And Honey, your heading down a one way street
And I gotta go the other way, yes I do

Yeah, oh, lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
And Honey, your heading down a one way street
And I really do feel that I got to be movin' on

Hey hey hey um hey
Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby, hey oh baby
And your heading down a one way street
Yeah, you're foolin' everybody you meet
I said your heading down a one way street
And you're foolin' everybody you meet
I said your heading down a one way street
Well, you're foolin' everybody but me
I said your heading down a one way street
And you're foolin' everybody you meet
I said your heading down a one way street
When you're foolin' everybody you meet
I said your heading down a one way street
When you're foolin' everybody you meet
I said your heading down a one way street
You got to get yourself back on your feet
Well, no baby, fooling everybody you meet

Oh, baby, humming everybody
Chewing everybody
Booting everybody
Loving everybody
Licking everybody you meet

  17. M.... F....

    Wow memories my first album all us 15 year olds girls playing this led zepplin robin trowler yes black sabbath

  18. p.... k....

    Maybe the best album ever.IMHO

  19. K.... S....

    Big aerosmith fan every. song on this album is great especially this one every album up to rocks didn't have a bad song

  20. R.... M....

    When I travelled across country in December 1976 to find out my girlfriend got pregnant. by someone else, this song was my angry response. After a couple shots of tequila and a joint, "Same Old Song and Dance" was the response. In other words, fuck it!!

  21. E.... B....

    You tube sucksa google dick

  22. D.... ....

    You can't beat a good shuffle

  23. �.... B....

    Benny Harvey RIP

  24. B.... S....

    AINT NO BAND BADDER THAN THE SMITH!!

  25. D.... S....

    Yepster

  26. M.... V....

    Not a Stones ripoff, but the influence is clear, especially the riff at 5:10. Aerosmith was a young band at this point, and were already able to put their own formidable interpretation on blues rock. Great album and debut.

  27. S.... C....

    i always said this is the acid test song. any aspiring rock and rollers should be able to play this song if they think they are professional grade. I know some superior lead guitarists who can mimic Clapton, Hendrix and Page but they really did not even want to attempt this song. As a lead singer I say this is the best kick off gig to play it always gets the audience's attention

  28. c.... ....

    Fantastic a hidden gem, the boys fom bean town!

  29. W.... Z....

    that is a saxophone the dude left to play with journey and there was saxophone player so he started playing the harp but this album has genuine saxophone playing.

  30. C.... S....

    Cruising around town in the 65 Mustang with my buddies smoking weed having a fucking blast the good old days

  31. W.... M....

    Your heads like a One Way Street..

  34. D.... ....

    Of all the great Aerosmith songs, I always come back to this one!

    D.... ....

    Oh, here I am again.

  35. l.... v....

    Une des meilleures !!!!!

  36. R.... R....

    Am I vummininnf or vim die saaul

  37. J.... C....

    So good back in the day! S.T has lost his smooth bluesy vocal sound IMO.

    J.... C....

    Yep, this was Aerosmith in its natural state!

  38. M.... T....

    I fooled you too 😂

  39. D.... S....

    You take what's good for you
    I'll take my FREEDOM

  40. B.... ....

    One of their best

  41. B.... S....

    I've herd this song so many times on vinyl it sounds fast and toneless on here for some reason......

  42. J.... W....

    Real Rock n Roll. Just byob.

  43. J.... W....

    Not to brag just reality...I saw Aerosmith in concert starting when I was 16...in 1976 till now.
    My ex husband passed away but it was him that first played this song for me. I was 17. Yep.....he died young but, memories last. I have loved Aerosmith since I was sixteen. Standing in line or paying top dollar to a scalper??? Well worth it. Either way. Chicago ...I miss you. I will come back with graduate degree. Wow. Miss this song....real thing. Are you?

    J.... W....

    Chicago ain't the same , no more WLUP 97.7 ,,,,, sorry for your loss .

  44. S.... F....

    My personal favorite by The Smith. Straight up, wake up with a woody, and a hang over Rock n Roll.
    The is pure and raw, when they still rocked with no borders and all their vices . Love it to death! Paz y Amor

  45. J.... P....

    Hey remember me 1973 Fitchburg Music Fair? Guess you come full circle, if you haven't yet I like to throw a shamrock in the uncompleted one

  46. n.... s....

    Tyler should have kept this bluesy voice his whole career. Adds a certain character and funkiness to the Perry riffs IMO

    n.... s....

    Last album to feature Stevens older blues voice from time to time was Rock in a Hard Place. The last album I feel that had hints of their original sound.

  47. V.... C....

    In think this is the best song i be heard of aerosmith

  48. D.... H....

    Only cool people had this album
    And we knew who was cool😉

    D.... H....

    you must have been dirty harry. I was.

  49. S.... B....

    44 years ago? In the basement w/the bong... hell yeah!

    S.... B....

    Toke, toke pass brother!

  50. m.... t....

  53. C.... S....

    My favorite song of Aerosmith

  54. W.... J....

    Oh, baby, humming everybody
    Chewing everybody
    Booting everybody
    Loving everybody
    Licking everybody you meet

  55. H.... ....

    Back in the day, we had a rock band, and I insisted on doing this song. We rehearsed it until we had it perfect. First time we played it in a bar, people were blown away - particularly friends that knew we were working on a band.

  56. L.... C....

    This is soooooo fineeee!!!

  57. C.... ....

    Wrong way down a one way stree-eet!

  58. D.... R....

    Este álbum la verdad es muy disfrutable.

  59. J.... V....

    Humankind mixed bag of emotions for all bipolar

  60. R.... E....

    There first about 7 albums besides maybe done with mirrors is ridiculous good...not a huge fan if the last decade and a half tho since that armageddon song I can stand...but this song is a masterpiece

  61. M.... M....

    The luluxury of the simple life

  62. B.... b....

    Attn. Hello hello,mr.brake. you are100% brain dead pal

  63. R.... G....

    Best debut album ever IMO...Led Zeppelin's is up there too as is Van Halen's.

  64. K.... W....

    Back in the time when everyone had a turntable and a record was always playing when you visited and when they came to your house. The best days .

  65. M.... R....

    Americas rock band. Love em!
    Well the first 5 albums kicked ass.

  66. L.... M....

    Such an underrated song, even though it’s Aerosmith.

  67. C.... P....

    Aerosmith 1970s. Rockin

  68. C.... P....

    This brings back memories we use to listen in my friends room..smoking and rockin out..in the 70s..great times

  69. T.... A....

    You know, I never realized what an influence Janis Joplin had on Steven Tyler's vocal style until I listened to this song.

  70. O.... Q....

    I love old Aerosmith. There '70's stuff is the best. One of best U.S. bands ever. I saw them in 1987 in Toronto when I was 20 but had been a fan of theirs since I was 16. They are great live so much energy and passion!

  71. K.... M....

    Anyone else love the way Tyler says'honey'like HUNNAYay?

  72. T.... ....

    Best album they made.

  73. J.... M....

    This is rock music at it's absolute best.

  74. t.... ....

    Blows my mind when I hear Tom telling the story of how the record company was going to drop them if their second album didn't do better. When I looked at friends' record collections back in those days, the lack of this album immediately told me 'this person is a hack'. This album was a must-have

  75. P.... S....

    sweet double solo Joe!

  76. C.... S....

    Wrong way down a one way street

  77. J.... C....

    A foot stomper all the way through, their BEST!!!!!

  80. A.... E....

    Damn Steven, that voice. Changing the rotation of Earth. Good gosh almighty....

  81. d.... ....

    Steven Tyler doesn't get any better

  82. m.... ....

    early Aerosmith was the best. then they sold out later years..

  83. D.... M....

    Real Deal

  84. J.... H....

    The absolute first song my older brothers played on the record player 44 years ago. I'd be happy if it was my last too. Best Aerosmith song ever!!!!

  85. s.... ....

    They started sucking when they stopped doing drugs

  86. T.... G....

    Cop a tude. Priceless.

    T.... G....

    Steven Tyler 40 years ahead of his time.

  87. L.... ....

  88. D.... D....

    You take whats good for you and ill take my freedom

  89. P.... B....

    The great steven tyler....the best forever.

  92. L.... O....

    Yeah, you get on a damn Greyhound bus, have them lose everything you own...this be your SONG!!😘💞💞💞 💖

  93. T.... G....

    Second half Aerosmith and second half Van Halen are a fucking disgrace.

  94. L.... O....

    Doesn't matter what day, what time.. Aerosmith you are Mine!! 😘

  95. d.... ....

    Played this on the juke at the local the other day was surprised at how many people gave me the thumbs up

  96. D.... b....

    I saw them with Perry, without Perry and The Joe Perry Project. Man it was painfull to see them without him and even worse seeing him without them! I hadnt listened to them for 30 years and now Im discovering them...again. It NEVER gets old. Pure magic. After Rocks I lost interest but so did most of us that grew up listening to them. It wasn't the same and after draw the line they definitely were a different band. More power too them if they had a carreer resurgence and went for a softer pop sound. They deserved whater acclaim and fortune they wanted. They'd earned it. That was for the next generation. We had them when they were at there best.

  97. R.... M....

    I HAVE SEEN THEM IN CONCERT 2X THAT WAS IN 74 75 40+ YRS. AGO. 😭
