<h1>Torn Between Two</h1>
<p></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">I need you with a clear
mind<br />
to make the right decisions<br />
about your heart and mine.<br />
I know you are caught between two,<br />
but only if you knew<br />
how much I'm in love with you...<br />
<br />
Torn Between Two<br />
<br />
I never pulled your hair, or put you down,<br />
or beat you up, or threw you to the ground;<br />
that's not what real men do<br />
to the love of their life,<br />
I just want you to be my wife...<br />
<br />
Torn Between Two<br />
<br />
Will you give us a chance<br />
or will you rip us apart?<br />
Your torn between two,<br />
one love is real,<br />
and the others may give you the chills...<br />
<br />
Torn Between Two<br />
<br />
I can't make that decision<br />
on who you choose;<br />
but if you like to be abused<br />
and used,<br />
I'm not that dude.<br />
So I will choose for you,<br />
but know I do love you...<br />
<br />
Torn Between Two<br />
