How Many Times

You broke my heart so many times

I can’t count the pieces

Everytime you push me down

It seems my strength increases

How many times do you have to cry

While people stand there gawking

How many times do you have to fall

Before you end up walking

I tried to give you all I had

To prove that I’m not bluffing

They say it’s a man with nothing to lose

Who ends up losing nothing

My head’s full of scheming schemes

My tongue’s tied up with talking

How many times do you have to fall

Before you end up walking

I tried to give you all I had

I thought my love was strong

I thought that I could treat you right

How did I treat you wrong

O won’t you even open the door

To see the wares I’m hawking

How many times do you have to fall

Before you end up walking

O won’t you give me one more chance

I couldn’t do no worse

Empty out my heart for you

Before it has to burst

I’m too hungry not to win

But you’re the game I’m stalking

How many times do you have to fall

Before you end up walking
