[Verse 1]
Met her on a Tuesday
Sweet tea
Sundress
Small-town smile
Kate laughed at every bad joke
Had me dreaming down the aisle
Friday came
I met her friend
Edith with the midnight eyes
Told me she was free this weekend
I said
"So am I"

[Chorus]
I once had two girls at a time
Kate and Edith
Both were mine
Thought I beat the rules in two
But you can’t have Kate and Edith too
Yeah
I learned what heartbreak’ll do
You can’t have Kate and Edith too (oh no)

[Verse 2]
Kate found my jacket
Left at Edith’s place one night
Edith read the name tag
And her face went cold as ice
They both called together
Put the truth on speakerphone
Kate said
"Boy
You’re history"
Edith said
"You’re goin’ home alone"

[Chorus]
I once had two girls at a time
Kate and Edith
Both were mine
Thought I beat the rules in two
But you can’t have Kate and Edith too
Now I’m here with just my shoes
You can’t have Kate and Edith too (hey!)

[Bridge]
Now it’s one plate
One fork
One name in my phone
Two empty barstools
And a table for one
If you think you’re clever
Let this be your clue
Double’s just the trouble
When the bill comes due

[Chorus]
I once had two girls at a time
Kate and Edith
Both were mine
Thought I beat the rules in two
But you can’t have Kate and Edith too
Sing it
Boys
It’s sad but true
You can’t have Kate and Edith too
