(Harlan Howard)

Chorus:
Your heart turned left and I was on the right
You couldn't have hurt me more with dynamite
Thought I was your destiny, but just before you got to me
Your heart turned left and I was on the right.

I almost had the battle won, what could I have said and done
That put you in another's arms tonight?
I don't know where I lost out, I just know without a doubt,
Your heart turned left and I was on the right.

Chorus:
Your heart turned left and I was on the right
You couldn't have hurt me more with dynamite
Thought I was your destiny, but just before you got to me
Your heart turned left and I was on the right.

--- Instrumental ---

Now my poor heart just moans and groans,
I walked around just kicking stones
Oh, cupid sure won't get another bite
Honey, why'd you lead me on
Without a warning you were gone.
Your heart turned left and I was on the right.

Chorus:
Your heart turned left and I was on the right
You couldn't have hurt me more with dynamite
Thought I was your destiny, but just before you got to me
Your heart turned left and I was on the right.

Yeah, your heart turned left and I was on the right.

Your heart turned left and I was on the right.
Yourheart turned left and I was on the right...
