I Can'T Love Two Sweethearts
I can't love two sweethearts and pretend
that they are both the center of my attention
one has to go before evening or nightfall;
no, I can't share the same love with Sue and
and still give everything to beautiful Sheryl.
Holding on two would be unfair and cruel...
before a conflict begins, I must choose again;
sweet eyes will lay on me and begin their spell.
If I said no to one and let go of the other,
there would be so much hurt and tears on her pretty face
and she'll think that I am that heartless liar,
who promised her love, but didn't keep his promise.
I can't love two sweethearts and pretend any longer
that they both can share the same love with one man,
not seeing trouble ahead when jealousy steps in:
blind, blind heart come into the light and see what's fair!
My intention is not to leave Sherryl and keep Sue,
it would have really been nice to have kept two;
let me explain to them my dilemma and be truly honest...
losing them both is heartbreaking, and so ends my quest.
