A philosopher looks at our deepest emotions.

Torn Between Two Lovers

I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed

"Only you and you alone / Can thrill me like you do / And fill my heart with love for only you." [The Platters]
"Well, I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed / Two lovers, and I love them both the same." [Mary Wells]
"Millions of people go by / But they all disappear from view / 'Cause I only have eyes for you." [Frank Sinatra]
"Torn between two lovers feeling like a fool / Lovin' both of you is breaking all the rules." [Mary MacGregor]
