one of the most difficult decisions
I ever had to make in my entire life
people say one heart can't love
two hearts .. I know they're wrong
I love dolly and alline both .. I do
I know my own heart very well
it pulled in both directions
in dolly's direction a little more
I hurt .. hurt bad when she left
hands tied .. warrant for my arrest
transporting a teen across state lines
kilo spoke with dolly's older brother
the hit wouldn't be dropped
unless dolly returned home
she and I talked, hugged .. cried
before aunt edna drove her home
dolly had given me her honor
I never took it as a light thing
the way she'd given all of herself
unconditionally .. won my heart
alline knew .. seemed to not care
somewhere .. someone had taught alline
love can be bought for a price
I spoke letting her know it's not true
at least I wouldn't give in for money
she asked .. I replied yes, I love dolly
she didn't have to ask yet she did
I said yes .. I love you dearly, too
my heart can't be easily explained
she can't deny the unrequited love
that pours from my heart into hers
alline seemed really happy
dolly was gone .. yet still
damage was done to all
alline still loves steve .. i'll always love dolly
no one can say one heart can't love twice
