G                          D
I've heard people say that love is meant for two 
                                                 G
But this old heart of mine knows that this ain't true 
                             G7                  C  
Three's a crowd they say but somehow something's wrong 
                  G         D             G
I got one I hang around and one I love at home. 

[Chorus:]

G                       D
Hanging on to one, and hangin' 'round the other. 
                                          G 
The one I hang around is more than just a lover 
                             G7             C  
The one I love at home is a good wife and a mother 
              G       D                  G
Hangin' on to one and hangin' 'round the other. 
  
                          D
Now heartaches on the way the ending soon will come 
                                                 G
But I can't stand the thought of losing either one 
                             G7                  C  
The truth I hide inside is more than I can stand 
              G         D             G
Me and her in misery a-walkin' hand in hand. 

[Chorus:]

G                       D
Hanging on to one, and hangin' 'round the other. 
                                          G 
The one I hang around is more than just a lover 
                             G7             C  
The one I love at home is a good wife and a mother 
              G       D                  G
Hangin' on to one and hangin' 'round the other.
