Both of You The first time that we met, well, you swept me off my feet I thought you were the finest man that ever I would meet And then I saw you at the lake, as handsome as could be I smiled and waved, but you said: "I think you want my brother, dear, not me." But you said you wouldn't mind a walk around the lake And in the golden sunset glow, my heart began to ache Because I felt the magic start, just as I'd felt with him And though our feet were on dry land, my head was in a swim (CHORUS) Oh, I guess I'll have to fall in love with both of you I can't give just one of you my heart I guess I'll have to fall in love with both of you 'Cause I can't tell the two of you apart Well, one of you is strong and kind -- the other one is, too And each of you is twice as sweet as any one -- or two If I were twice the woman, or if you were half the men Then we could be a happy two -- or four -- and start again But meantime I'm just trying to make three go into two And half the time I'm wishing that the other one was you But mostly I just give up and accept the way things are And love the man who leads the band on fiddle -- and guitar (CHORUS) by Mark Cohen Copyright Mark Cohen 1983 MC
