Can anyone think of any polyamorous love songs?

I see plenty of "Darling, you're the only one" type songs... but are there songs out there that are poly-centric when it comes to love, lust and romance?

Torn between two lovers

(Peter Yarrow and Phil Jarrel)

There are times when a woman has to say what's on her mind
Even though she knows how much it's gonna hurt
Before I say another word let me tell you, I love you
Let me hold you close and say these words as gently as I can

There's been another man that I've needed and I've loved
But that doesn't mean I love you less
And he knows he can't possess me and he knows he never will
There's just this empty place inside of me that only he can fill

[Chorus:]
Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool
Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool
Lovin' you both is breakin' all the rules

You mustn't think you've failed me
Just because there's someone else
You were the first real love I ever had
And all the things I ever said
I swear they still are true
For no one else can have the part of me I gave to you

[Chorus]

I couldn't really blame you if you turned and walked away
But with everything I feel inside, I'm asking you to stay

[Chorus]

Torn between two lovers

[Fade]

Feelin' like a fool
Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules

call me a child at heart ~smiles~ the Following are the lyrics to You Two from the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. While it might not be specifically designed for poly relationships, i often sing it in my heart while serving.

hugs~

What makes the battle worth the fighting?
What makes the mountain worth the climb?
What makes the questions worth the asking?
The reason worth the rhyme?

To me the answer's clear;
it's having someone near; someone dear
Someone to care for; to be there for.
I have You Two!
Someone to do for; muddle through for.
I have You Two!
Someone to share joy or despair with;
whichever betides you.
Life becomes a chore, unless you're living for
someone to tend to be a friend to.
I have You Two!
Someone to strive for, do or die for
I have You Two!
Could be, we three get along so famously,
'cause you two have me, and I have You Two too.
Someone to care for; to be there for.
I have You Two!
Someone to do for; muddle through for
I have You Two!
Someone to smile once in awhile with;
whenever you're lonesome
I've a happy lot,
considering what I've got.
But, I couldn't do more
Could be, we three get along so famously
'cause
we two have you,
and I have You Two
too

"Triad," by Jefferson Airplane, great song, written by David Crosby, i think it's on Crown of Creation, from about 1968. Way before my time, guys, but i grew up playing my mom and dad's '50s and '60s records, those big fat vinyl LPs, i love 'em. (They still have 'em too, but their rockin' little girls scratched a lot of 'em up too bad to play. Sorry, Dad, it was just that i loved 'em so much!) And why did this song stick in my memory? Gee, Dad, i dunno... (Maybe it should be my theme song.)

The lines i remember from "Triad" (from memory, guys, so a little slack please):

You want to know how it will be
Me and him and you and me
Now that we both love you
I love you too
I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three?

[Edited to correct the line i forgot...]

Moving became infinately easier with the advent of CD's. You always would forget what a box of record albums would weigh....

Does it have to be love/slow songs?
How about Funk: "So many men, so little time", "It's raining men"
I'll try to think of more..
