How Many Times

(앨범: Only For The Lonely - 1970)

How many times can you step?
How many times can you step
On a stone
Before that stone showed some signs
That it's been walked on?

How much water can you pour?
How much water can you pour
In a boat
Before that boat begin
Oh, begin to sink?
And I'm going down fast

I can count on my fingers
The times you've shown me so much disrespect
You do more for a total stranger
My faith is dying from too much neglect
I wanna know how many, many, many
How many times, must I try?
How many times, must I try?
Try to light, light a candle in the wind
How many times do you think that I'll come crawling, oh, back again?

How many, how many, how many
How many times?
How many times? Ooh
I've got to know right now
How many times must I cry?
How many times?
How many times, ooh
Do you think I'll come crawling back to you?

On my bended knees, yeah
How many times? Yeah
