Two Lefts Don't Make A Right

Two Lefts Don't Make a Right
Lyrics by Linda Loegel Music by Wade B. Ward

I told my baby I was going out
To get some fresh air and to walk about
Wanted to walk by the light of the moon
Told her that I'd be home real soon.

I closed the door I and looked around
She wouldn't like to know where I was bound
I turned to the left at the end of the block,
Then turned left again and continued to walk.

The lights were on, I ran up to the door
My heart beat fast and my adrenalin soared
My lover greeted me with a smile so sweet
She's why I take this particular street.

Out my door and I turn left twice
Into the arms of a girl so nice
I know that it's wrong, it's an urge I can't fight
I know two lefts don't make a right.

She kisses me---but I shy away
She won't like to hear what I have to say
I tell her two lefts don't make a right
So I'm gonna have to end our affair tonight.

I say I love her but I love my wife more
And never again will I come to her door.
She looks at me with those big sad eyes
Lays her head on my shoulder, and softly she cries.

Tell her I'm sorry but I really must go
Back to my wife, who loves me so
I know it hurts, but so does living a lie
I kiss her once more and I tell her goodbye.

Out my door and I turned left twice
Into the arms of a girl so nice
I knew it was wrong, it was an urge I couldn't fight
I knew two lefts don't make a right.

So now I'm going back the way I came
Turn right at the corner and then turn right again
Back to my wife, that’s where I belong
The next two rights will correct a wrong.

Out her door and I turn right twice
Back into the arms of my wife tonight
I'm sorry I cheated, that wasn't so bright
I know two lefts never make a right.

Two lefts never make a right
I'm going home, and it's for good tonight
I'll never go back, I've seen the light
I know Two Lefts don't make a right.
