Mary MacGregor – Torn Between Two Lovers – 1977

Lyrics

 

There are times when a woman has to say what’s on her mind
Even though she knows how much it’s gonna hurt
Before I say another word, let me tell you “I love you”
Let me hold you close, and say these words as gently as I can

“There’s been another man that I’ve needed, and I’ve loved
But that doesn’t mean I love you less
And he knows he can’t possess me, and he knows he never will
There’s just this empty place inside of me that only he can fill”

Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules

You mustn’t think you failed me just because there’s someone else
You were the first real love I ever had
And all the things I ever said, I swear they still are true
For no one else can have the part of me I gave to you

Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules

I couldn’t really blame you if you turned and walked away
But with everything I feel inside, I’m asking you to stay

Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules

Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool-
