Lyrics
It makes me weak and in a hurry
All night long I lay at a worry
I’m so afraid that I’m gonna talk in my sleep
Who do I love? Who am I usin’?
Which one is which can get so confusin’
I’ve got to choose one and set the other one free
One love at a time it’s all I can handle
Burning both ends of a candle
Can drive you insane
With one love in your heart
And one love on your mind
It can tear a girl apart
I just need one love at a time
One’s got a birthday, it’s in Decemeber
Which one’s in July? I can’t remember
I get them mixed up, what am I gonna do
It keeps me uptight, driving me crazy
They’re both believin’ they’re both my baby
Sometimes I wonder who’s been playin’ the fool
One love at a time it’s all I can handle
Burning both ends of a candle
Can drive you insane
With one love in your heart
And one love on your mind
It can tear a girl apart
I just need one love at a time
Yes it can tear a girl apart
I just need one love at a time
