The lady who drinks at the pub on my street,

She goes up there for sherry and something to eat,

She told me a tale of love in her life,

That the man that she loved wouldn't make her his wife.

She told me "My boy when you fall for a girl,

make sure that she falls for you",

"I'm sure as the sun and I'm sure as the moon,

that one can't be loving for two".

A man drove me home in a taxi last night,

A man whose two kids were his only delight.

His old lady dragged him on down to the court,

And now he drives taxis to make child support.

He told me, "My boy when you fall for a girl,

make sure that she falls for you",

"I'm sure as the sun and I'm sure as the moon,

that one can't be loving for two".

I should know this...

I told them a tale, even though I'm still young,

About how much it hurt, about how much it stung,

I once knew a girl, and I thought it was sure...

But our love couldn't be what it was anymore.

So if you're in love, and you hear what I sing,

make sure that they're loving you,

"I'm sure as the sun and I'm sure as the moon,

that one can't be loving for two".

"Yes, I'm sure as the sun and I'm sure as the moon,

that one can't be loving for two".
