YOU CAN'T BE TRUE TO TWO
(Al Hoffman / Dick Manning)

as recorded by Dave king
& The Keynotes
with Roland Shaw & his Orchestra
1956


Can't be true to two, true to two, true to two!
Can't be true to two, true to two, true to two!

You can't be true to two, true to two, true to two,
You can only be true to one. (true to one)
No matter what you do, what you do, what you do,
It simply can't be done. (can't be done)

You can't divide your affection,
It's gotta go in one direction!
You can't be true to two, no you can't be true to two,
You can only be true to one!

Nobody wants half a love, half a kiss, half a heart,
And we might as well get it straight from the start!

You gotta make a break, make a break, make a break,
That's the first thing you must do!
You can never eat your cake, eat your cake, eat your cake,
Eat your cake and have it too! (have it too)

You gotta take my word, I swear it,
I'd rather lose your love than share it!
You can't be true to two, no you can't be true to two,
You can only be true to one!

Nobody wants half a love, half a kiss, half a heart,
And we might as well get it straight from the start!

You gotta make a break, make a break, make a break,
That's the first thing you must do!
You can never eat your cake, eat your cake, eat your cake,
Eat your cake and have it too! (have it too)

You gotta take my word, I swear it,
I'd rather lose your love than share it!
You can't be true to two, no you can't be true to two,
You can only be true to one!
Only be true to one!
Only be true - to one!
