One Boy, Two Little Girls

Elvis Presley · Command Performances: The Essential 60's Masters II [1995]

One boy, two little girls

Three hearts yearning for love

Although it's hard to explain

I know it may sound insane

But this one boy loves two little girls

Folks say three is a crowd

To each boy, one girl's allowed

But right now I'm having such fun

I just can't give up either one

'Cos this one boy loves two little girls.

There will come a time, I'll have to settle down

But until that time I love two girls hanging around

Now one day I must decide which one I'll choose for my bride

But till we three must part

I've twice as much love in my heart

'Cos this one boy loves two little girls

One Boy, Two Little Girls

Elvis Presley's "One Boy, Two Little Girls" stands as a poignant example of his early 1960s pop balladry, recorded during the Command Performances sessions. The track captures the emotional core of a father's love for his children, delivered with Presley's signature vocal warmth and a gentle, acoustic-driven arrangement. Released on the compilation "Command Performances: The Essential 60's Masters II," the song reflects the era's shift toward more personal, narrative-driven storytelling within rock and roll. It complements other intimate recordings from this period, showcasing Presley's versatility beyond his rock and roll roots. The composition remains a testament to his ability to convey deep familial affection through simple yet effective musical phrasing, cementing its place in his broader discography of heartfelt ballads.
