Jerry Lee Lewis – One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart) lyrics

One has my name, the other has my heart
With one I’ll remain, that’s how my heartaches start
One has brown eyes, the other’s eyes are blue
To one I am tied, to the other I am true

One has my love, the other only me
But what good is love to an old heart that can’t be free
So I’ll go on living my life just the same
While one has my heart, the other has my name

Ah, one has my name, the other has my heart
With one I’ll remain, oh, that’s how my old heartaches start
You know one’s got brown eyes and the other’s eyes are blue
To one I am tied, to the other I guess I’ll have to be true

One that has my love and the other only me
But what good is love to a heart that can’t be free
If I could live over, my life I would change
The one who has my heart would also have my name
