Three Hearts in a Tangle
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
Three hearts in a tangle
One heart will have to break.
Tonight as I sit by my window
Watching the people go by
I'm trying to reach a decision
But I know I can't do what's right.
Three hearts in a tangle
Which heart should I take?
Three hearts in a tangle
Which heart will I break?
If I choose the one that I should choose
Then the other heart will break
If I'll leave them both then I'll suffer
Which heart will pay for my mistake.
Three hearts in a tangle
Which heart should I take?
Three hearts in a tangle
Which heart will I break?
Which heart will I break?...
