Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Trying to love two women is like a ball and chain. Trying to love two women is like a ball and chain. Sometimes the pleasure ain't worth the strain. It's a long old grind, and it tires your mind. Trying to hold two women is tearing me apart. Trying to hold two women is tearing me apart. One's got my money, the other's got my heart. It's a long old grind, and it tires your mind. When you try to please two women, you can't please yourself. When you try to please two women, you can't please yourself. At best it's only half good; a man can't stock two shelves. It's a long old grind, and it tires your mind.
