G                          D 
I've heard people say that love is meant for two  
                                                 G 
But this old heart of mine knows that this ain't true  
                             G7                  C   
Three's a crowd they say but somehow something's wrong  
                  G         D             G 
I got one I hang around and one I love at home.  


G                       D 
Hanging on to one, and hangin' 'round the other.  
                                          G  
The one I hang around is more than just a lover  
                             G7             C   
The one I love at home is a good wife and a mother  
              G       D                  G 
Hangin' on to one and hangin' 'round the other.  
   
                          D 
Now heartaches on the way the ending soon will come  
                                                 G 
But I can't stand the thought of losing either one  
                             G7                  C   
The truth I hide inside is more than I can stand  
              G         D             G 
Me and her in misery a-walkin' hand in hand.  


G                       D 
Hanging on to one, and hangin' 'round the other.  
                                          G  
The one I hang around is more than just a lover  
                             G7             C   
The one I love at home is a good wife and a mother  
              G       D                  G 
Hangin' on to one and hangin' 'round the other.
