Two Lovers (Mary Wells song)

"Two Lovers" is a single released in 1962 by Mary Wells on the Motown record label. The song was the third consecutive hit to be both written and produced by Smokey Robinson of The Miracles and recorded by Mary Wells, the two previous charters being "The One Who Really Loves You" and "You Beat Me to the Punch." The song's cleverly devised lyrics at first appear to be about a girl singing to one lover who is "sweet and kind" and a second who treats her bad and makes her sad; eventually, the girl reveals that the two lovers are actually the same person. The song became Well's most successful release to date reaching No. 1 on the Billboard R&B chart and number seven on the Billboard pop chart. Its success would be eclipsed two years later by the singer's most successful release ever, the signature tune "My Guy."

  • Donovan

    Donovan (born Donovan Philips Leitch; 10 May 1946) is a Scottish singer, songwriter and guitarist. He developed an eclectic and distinctive style that blended folk, jazz, pop, psychedelia, and world music (notably calypso). He has lived in Scotland, London and California, and, since at least 2008, in County Cork, Ireland, with his family. Emerging from the British folk scene, Donovan reached fame in the United Kingdom in early 1965 with live performances on the pop TV series, Ready Steady Go!.

    Having signed with Pye Records in 1965, he recorded singles and two albums in the folk vein, but after a new contract with US CBS/Epic Records his popularity spread to other countries. After extricating himself from his original management contract, he began a long and successful collaboration with Mickie Most, a leading British independent record producer, with hits in the UK, the US and other countries.

    His most successful singles were the early UK hits "Catch the Wind", "Colours" and "Universal Soldier" in 1965. "Sunshine Superman" topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart (number two in Britain), and "Mellow Yellow" reached US number two the following year, with "Hurdy Gurdy Man" in the Top 5 in both countries in 1968. He was the first artist to be signed to CBS/Epic Records by the new administrative vice-president, Clive Davis. Donovan and Most collaborated on hit albums and singles between 1965 and 1970. He became a friend of pop musicians including Joan Baez, Brian Jones and The Beatles. He taught John Lennon a finger-picking guitar style in 1968. Donovan's commercial fortunes waned after parting with Most in 1969, and he left the industry for a time.

    Donovan (horse)

    Donovan (18861905) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career that lasted from 1888 to 1889 he ran twenty-one times and won eighteen races. He was the leading British two-year-old of 1888 when he won eleven of his thirteen starts. At three Donovan won the Epsom Derby and the St Leger: he failed to win the English Triple Crown owing to a narrow and probably unlucky defeat in the 2000 Guineas. He set a world record by earning a total of £55,443 in win prize money. Donovan was a modest success as a stallion. He died after being injured in an accident in 1905.

    Background

    Donovan was a dark-coated bay bred by his owner William Cavendish-Bentinck, 6th Duke of Portland a Conservative politician and landowner. Among the Duke’s other horses were the undefeated St. Simon and the 1888 Derby winner Ayrshire. He was sent into training with George Dawson at his Heath House Stable in Newmarket, Suffolk.

    Donovan’s sire Galopin was an outstanding racehorse who won the Derby in 1872 and went on to be a successful and influential stallion, being Champion sire on three occasions. Mowerina, Donovan’s dam, won sixteen races and produced several winners including the 1000 Guineas winner Semolina and the colt Raeburn, the only horse ever to defeat Isinglass.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Two Lovers

    by: Twang

    Two lovers stop for kisses on a wall
    She asked him, "Never leave me"
    He tells her that he won't
    But the boy is young and foolish and knows it all
    And he puts it about when he goes out
    Stories they get told
    And stories, yeah stories get told
    It's in his nature, his misbehavior and misdemeanors
    The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes
    It's in his nature, his misbehavior, and misdemeanors
    The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes
    And these lovers trip
    And stumble down the road
    And on the grass they fumble round
    Like a flower their love grows
    And by the flower grows a weed
    And not the kind you smoke
    It raises up its ugly head
    Our lovers are in a choke hold
    Two lovers, two lovers in a hold
    It's in his nature, his misbehavior and misdemeanors
    The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes
    It's in his nature, his misbehavior and misdemeanors
    The boy ain't no genius, he just keeps her on her toes
    And I bet a bad thought don't cross her mind
    And if it does, she just discards it till it's gone away
    I bet of all of her, she sees, she feels
    And there's somewhere that she stores it till it's gone away
    Till it's gone away, till it's gone away
    And it's in his nature, his misbehavior and misdemeanors
    The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes
    It's in his nature, his misbehavior and misdemeanors
    The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes
    It's in his nature, his misbehavior and misdemeanors
    The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes
    It's in his nature, his misbehavior and misdemeanors
    The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes
    On her toes
    Said the boy ain't no genius but he keeps her on her toes
    Two lovers stop for kisses on a wall
    She asked him, "Never leave me"
