"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. 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." The single was Jones' third top ten hit in a row.
