The Other Half Songtext
von My Darling Clementine

You don′t know the half
Of what you mean to me
The whole world can laugh
They think I don't see
That you′re not alone
And never will you be
Cos your other half, today
You'll marry

I'm going to turn up
And gather all the courage I can find
Oh I have half a mind
To be so unkind
And tell her that one and one is two
It′s true
But I still hold a fraction of you
But it will never be
As much as she... the other half


You don′t know the half
Of what you mean to me
The whole world can laugh
Because they don't see
That I′m so alone
And ever shall I be
If my other half, today, I marry

I'm going to stand up
And tell them all the secrets I can′t hide
And tell my future bride
Just how much I've lied
And tell her that even though I care, I swear
But I still love that girl over there
And it can never be as much as she... the other half

They say if two halves make a whole
Count yourself lucky
Because the sum of those two parts can add up to nothing
And if you keep the love you stole
There will be heartbreak on patrol
Sometimes you risk your life and soul


You don′t know the half
Of what you mean to me
The whole world can laugh
Because they don't see
That we're not alone
And never will we be
Cos our other halves
Today, we′ll marry

I′m going to rise up
And when the preacher asks me if I do
Well I'm going to turn to you
And I′ll say it too
And tell her that
One and one is three, you see
Cos I've a baby inside of me
And on his daddy′s knee
I long to be... the other half
And everyone will see
That I take thee... the other half
And there will never be
A love like he... the other half
