How many times

Richard Thompson

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
