I'm tied to someone that's true
And yet I love another too
Oh, ain't life a cryin' shame
I hate to hurt them either one
I want 'em both, can't have but one
Oh-o-o, ain't life a cryin' shame

I wish I knew which way to turn
Which lovelight should I let burn
Makes no difference how I choose
I can't win, I'll only lose
Bound to break somebody's heart
Tear somebody's world apart
Oh-o-o, ain't life a cryin' shame

I wish I knew which way to turn
Which lovelight should I let burn
Makes no difference how I choose
I can't win, I'll only lose
Bound to break somebody's heart
Tear somebody's world apart
Oh-o-o, ain't life a cryin' shame
