Real True Lovin'
written by C. Carson Parks II
Lyrics:
Verse # 1
Rule Number One
My heart just violated Rule Number One
I think my troubles now have only begun
Because I just fell into love.
Verse # 2
You stole my heart
And now the plans I made will all fall apart
I took one look at you and that wasn’t smart
Because I just fell into love.
Bridge
I had everything so nicely planned
Now my heart’s completely out of hand, and
Verse # 3
Heavens above!
There’s something wrong: I think I’ve fallen for you
And that was one thing I swore never to do
Now no more tables with a view just for one
That’s all over and done
Because I broke Rule Number One.
Oh, I broke Rule Number One.

Carson's Remarks:
AKA "Cada Ves," Le Sable et Mer." Although I've heard the musical term "quad-libet" applied to this, I'm not sure what this means. All I know is that (in the style of 'Memories Are Made Of This', by Terry Gilkyson) you can write several melodies to the same chord pattern, and sometimes sing them at the same time. This was written for a boy/girl duet, and did pretty well for Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme and (in Canada) Jacques Boulanger & Ginette Reno. I've always liked this form of music, as you can tell two stories at the same time, with two different points of view. (It's an obvious venue for boy/girl duets or statement/comment, which allows the writer to look at situations from differing points of view.)
