"Two Lovers" is a #single released in 1962 by #MaryWells on the #Motown record label. The song was the third consecutive hit to be both written and produced by #SmokeyRobinson of #theMiracles and recorded by Mary Wells, the two previous charters being "#TheOneWhoReallyLovesYou" and "#YouBeatMeToThePunch." 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.
