A one-way love is a cryin' shame
The kinda love that's a losin' game
You try real hard but it just don't pay
No matter what I do or say
Because my love is just one way

Everlovin', everlovin'
Want your lovin', need your lovin'
Everlovin', everlovin'
Pleadin' for your turtle dovin'
Waitin', I'm a-waitin' till you
It's so humiliatin' waitin'
Just for a kiss from you

A one-way love is a lonesome thing
Your lips grow cold and your heart don't sing
You treat him right and you treat him square
You call him dear
You want him near
But all the time he just don't care

Everlovin', everlovin'
Want your lovin', need your lovin'
Everlovin', everlovin'
Pleadin' for your turtle dovin'
Waitin', I'm a-waitin' till you
It's so humiliatin' waitin'
Just for a kiss from you

A one-way love is a one-way deal
You can't explain just the way you feel
I wanna laugh but I gotta cry
So every night I lie awake
And listen to my poor heart die

Everlovin', everlovin'
Want your lovin', need your lovin'
Everlovin', everlovin'
Pleadin' for your turtle dovin'
Waitin', I'm a-waitin' till you
It's so humiliatin' waitin'
Just for a kiss from you!

A one-way love is a one-way crush
You give your heart but you get the brush
You buy new clothes just to catch his eye
You think he'll make a pass at you
But all he does is pass you by

Everlovin', everlovin'
Want your lovin', need your lovin'
Everlovin', everlovin'
Pleadin' for your turtle dovin'
Waitin', I'm a-waitin' till you
It's so humiliatin' waitin'
Just for a kiss from you!
