Don't make me choose
Between my left hand and my right
Don't make me choose
Between my love and my life
Either way I lose
And that just ain't right
Don't make me
If you really love me
You would never judge me
I would never do that to you

Whenever I can, I'll be there (don't make me)
You've got a man who knows exactly what you need
And I got a plan, don't be scared
I know, I know that now it's hard to see, yeah

Trust me
I can compartmentalize
Don't wanna throw this balance
I'm in for the ride

Don't make me choose
Between my left hand and my right
Don't make me choose
Between my love and my life
Either way I lose
And that just ain't right
Don't make me
If you really love me
You would never judge me
I would never do that to you

If you wanna talk, I'll listen (don't make me)
I'll be here on the line until you fall asleep
Gimme your time, gimme permission
To make it work, to put your mind at ease

I need you to trust me
I can compartmentalize
Don't want to throw this balance
I'm in for the ride

Don't make me choose
Between my left hand and my right
Don't make me choose
Between my love and my life
Either way I lose
And that just ain't right
Don't make me
If you really love me
You would never judge me
I would never do that to you
Don't make me choose

'Cause I lose every time you push at me like this
But I'll find a way to show you these two words can more than co-exist

Yeah, don't make me choose
Between my left hand and my right
Don't make me choose
Between my love and my life
Either way I lose
And that just ain't right
Don't make me
If you really love me
You would never judge me
I would never do that to you
Don't make me
Don't make me
Don't make me
Don't make me
Don't make me choose
Don't make me choose
Don't make me
If you really love me
You would never judge me
I would never do that to you
Don't make me

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
