"You're Heart Turned Left (And I Was on the Right)" is a song by George Jones and written by Harlan Howard. It reached the number 5 position on the Billboard country singles chart when it was released as a single on the United Artists label in early 1964.[citation needed] At this point in his career, Jones had taken his place as one of the premiere balladeers of country music, but he always retained a soft spot for novelty numbers going back to his first recordings for Starday in the mid-fifties. "I've always tried to be versatile," he reflected in the 1989 video biography Same Ole Me. "I've always tried to do up-tempos, novelties, and ballads."[citation needed] The single was Jones' third top ten hit in a row.
