How Many Times

If you were hurt like I was before

Ladies, go turn up your radio

'Cause I'ma sing this one for all, yeah

See they complain about our attitude

Talk about the things we do

For me, it seems so obvious

(And I can make you comin', keep comin' back)

You're always so up and criticize

I got my flaws and yes I realize

I've become so hard to deal with

Because this cord around my heart is so tight

How many times? How many times? How many times?

I caught you on the phone with her?

How many times? How many times? How many times?

Did I take you back and you broke my heart?

Oh, this song know how I feel

You betrayed my love

And the moral of the story is

How many times? How many times?

Our sister, our sister Mary

She used to tell us about this in the 90's

I used to say that I'll never be, no, never never me

But it is 2011 and I feel I can't get any lower

Takin' out my anger

On any and everybody that comes around

I've become so hard to deal with

Because this cord around my heart is so tight

How many times? How many times? How many times?

I caught you on the phone with her?

How many times? How many times? How many times?

Did I take you back and you broke my heart?

Oh, this song know how I feel

You betrayed my love

And the moral of the story is

How many times? How many times?

How

How many times must I cryin'?

(Oh, I'm so tired of cryin')

And how many times should my son see my tears

Wishin' away

How many of y'all going through the same thing?

I've become so hard to deal with

Because this cord around my heart is so tight

I'm so tired

How many times? How many times? How many times?

I caught you on the phone with her?

How many times? How many times? How many times?

Did I take you back and you broke my heart?

Oh, this song know how I feel

You betrayed my love

And the moral of the story is

How many times? How many times?

How many times do I gotta get hurt

To know it never ain't gon' get no better?

How many times, ladies, have you been hurt

And you know in your hear it won't get no better?

You, you

This one's for you

You, you

This one's for you
