One Love at a Time
Choosing Between Hearts: Tanya Tucker's Tale of Love Dilemmas
Lyrics
It makes me weak and in a hurry
Feeling vulnerable and rushed
All night long I lay at a worry
Experiencing anxiety throughout the night
I'm so afraid that I'm gonna talk in my sleep
Fearful of revealing secrets while asleep
Who do I love? Who am I usin'?
Confused about her true feelings and intentions
Which one is which can get so confusin'
Difficulty distinguishing between emotions
I've got to choose one and set the other one free
Facing the necessity to choose one love and let go of the other
One love at a time it's all I can handle
Can only handle one romantic relationship at a time
Burning both ends of a candle
Experiencing the challenges of managing multiple relationships
Can drive you insane
The stress of juggling two loves can lead to insanity
With one love in your heart
Having conflicting emotions in the heart
And one love on your mind
Thinking about one love while being committed to another
It can tear a girl apart
Struggling emotionally with the dual commitments
I just need one love at a time
Desiring simplicity, longing for one love
One's got a birthday, it's in Decemeber
Referencing different birthdays for each love interest
Which one's in July? I can't remember
Uncertainty about the details of the relationships
I get them mixed up, what am I gonna do
Feeling confused about the situation
It keeps me uptight, driving me crazy
Stressed and anxious, struggling to cope
They're both believin' they're both my baby
Both lovers believe they are the only one
Sometimes I wonder who's been playin' the fool
Questioning who is being deceived or fooled
One love at a time it's all I can handle
Capacity to handle only one romantic commitment
Burning both ends of a candle
Experiencing the challenges and stress of managing multiple loves
Can drive you insane
Struggling with the emotional toll of dual commitments
With one love in your heart
Conflicted emotions residing in the heart
And one love on your mind
Mind preoccupied with thoughts of one love while committed to another
It can tear a girl apart
Emotional distress due to dual commitments
I just need one love at a time
Desiring simplicity and the exclusivity of one love
Yes it can tear a girl apart
Acknowledging the potential emotional pain of managing multiple loves
I just need one love at a time
Expressing the need for a singular, focused romantic commitment
