How Much More Can I Take

You're breakin' my heart

Stealing my thunder

How much more can I take

You're draggin' me down

Holding me under

How much more can I take

How much more can I take

Won't somebody break

The news to you gently.

You fill my eyes

But you don't fill the hunger

How much more can I take

I see your face

Everywhere, everyplace

How much more can I take

You're here in the night

You're here in the morning sunlight

How much more can I take

How much more can I take

I (wish that I could) make your mind up (for you).

You fill my eyes

But you don't fill the hunger

How much more can I take

How much more can I take

Won't somebody help me

I'm naked as the day I was born

These clothes have a way

Of changin' what I'm feelin'

I try and I try but I can't put 'em on

I sit here alone

Wait by the telephone line

How much more can I take

I'm jealous as hell

Mixed up 'n mean as well

How much more can I take

How much more can I take

I know she'd like to break

Those stones over my body.

You fill my eyes

But you don't fill the hunger

How much more can I take
