Note: V1 is an acoustic demo recorded at Springsteen's home in Holmdel, NJ in early 1980. The chorus heard here is similar to the album take, but the remainder of the lyrics and the melody are quite different. V2–V9 are band rehearsal workouts at Telegraph Hill on February 22, 1980, and are a fascinating glimpse of the band developing a song live. V2 includes a guitar solo mid-song (also found in V4 and V5) along with many bluffed lyrics. V6 has Bruce working on a new verse, which is incorporated into V7–V9. Both the solo and extra verse are unique to these takes, and were dropped by the time "Two Hearts" was cut in the studio.

"Two Hearts" was recorded at Power Station on February 23 (the day after the Telegraph Hill rehearsals) and 24, with further work undertaken on March 17, April 9, and April 26, 1980. V10b is a different mix that lacks the double-tracked vocal found on the album.

^{Studio Sessions: The River}

I went out walking the other day
Seen a little girl crying along the way
She'd been hurt so bad, said she'd never love again
Someday your crying, girl, will end

And you'll find once again
That two hearts are better than one
That two hearts, girl, get the job done
That two hearts are better than one

Once I spent my time playing tough guy scenes
But I was living in a world of childish dreams
Someday these childish dreams must end
To become a man and grow up to dream again

I believe in the end
That two hearts are better than one
That two hearts, girl, get the job done
That two hearts are better than one

Sometimes it might seem like it was planned
For you to roam empty hearted through this land
Though the world turns you hard and cold
There's one thing, mister, that I know

That's if you think your heart is stone
And that you're rough enough to whip this world alone
Alone, buddy, there ain't no peace of mind
That's why I'll keep searching till I find

My special one
'Cause two hearts are better than one
'Cause two hearts, girl, get the job done
'Cause two hearts are better than one

And I believe
That two hearts are better than one
That two hearts, girl, get the job done
That two hearts are better than one

Woah woah woah
