How Many Times

(album: I Almost Lost My Mind - 1964)

How many times must I call you?
Call you on the telephone
Tell me how many times
Must I come knocking?
To only find you're never home

How must how must I comb my hair?
Is it too short or too long
I got to know, know the reason
We don't go steady anymore

Have I been the foolish one?
Tell me am I the one to blame
Should I walk around with tears in my eyes?
And hang my head in shame

How many times must I write you?
Write you each and every day
Only to wait for an answer
How that never comes my way

Tell me that I wanna know my darling
And I the one to blame
I got to know the reason
Tell me we don't go steady anymore

I gotta know my darling
Tell me am I the one to blame
I got to know, know my darling
The reason why we don't go steady
One more time
We don't go steady anymore
