One has my name and the other has my heart
With one I’ll remain
That’s when my heartaches start
One has brown eyes and the other’s eyes’re blue
To one I am tied
To the other I am true
One has my love and the other only me
But what good is love
To a heart that can’t be free
So I’ll go on living
My life’s just the same
While one has my heart and the other has my name

One has my love and the other only me
But what good is love
To a heart that can’t be free
So I’ll go on living
My life’s just the same
While one has my heart and the other has my name
