How Many Times
You used to tell me you loved me
You used to show me you cared
I used to be the one that you adored
But lately I don't feel you love me no more
You see, I don't understand what's goin' on with you
And I don't understand why I let you treat me so cruel
So tell me
How many times must I break down and cry?
I'm confused, my understanding was true love should never die
How many times will you kill me inside?
Any kind of fool should see the light
So why can't I?
Time after time, I have tried and tried
To give you some space and some time
But no matter what I do, it is never enough
You just refuse to try to do by me right
Though I know I still believe
Something's got a hold on me
Can't seem to find the strength to set myself free
So tell me
How many times must I break down and cry?
I'm confused, my understanding was true love should never die
How many times will you kill me inside?
Any kind of fool should see the light
So why can't I?
I gave my heart and soul
I gave my all, you know
I deserve better, baby
Oh so much better, baby
You know it's just not fair
For you to act like you just don't care
For you to act like I've done something wrong
Boy, how could you dare
(How many times) how many times
(Must I break down and cry?) Must I break down and cry?
I'm confused my understanding was true love should never die
(How many times) how many times
(Will you kill me inside?) Will you, will you kill me inside?
(Any kind of fool should see) any kind of fool should see
(The light) the light
Why can't I?
(How many times) how many times
(Must I break down and cry?) Must I break down and cry?
(I'm confused my understanding) I'm confused my understanding
(Was true love should never die) was true love should never die
(How many times) how many times (will you kill me inside?) Yeah, baby
(Any kind of fool should see) any kind of fool should see the light
But why can't I?
You're wrong, you know it
You used to show me you cared
I used to be the one that you adored
But lately I don't feel you love me no more
You see, I don't understand what's goin' on with you
And I don't understand why I let you treat me so cruel
So tell me
How many times must I break down and cry?
I'm confused, my understanding was true love should never die
How many times will you kill me inside?
Any kind of fool should see the light
So why can't I?
Time after time, I have tried and tried
To give you some space and some time
But no matter what I do, it is never enough
You just refuse to try to do by me right
Though I know I still believe
Something's got a hold on me
Can't seem to find the strength to set myself free
So tell me
How many times must I break down and cry?
I'm confused, my understanding was true love should never die
How many times will you kill me inside?
Any kind of fool should see the light
So why can't I?
I gave my heart and soul
I gave my all, you know
I deserve better, baby
Oh so much better, baby
You know it's just not fair
For you to act like you just don't care
For you to act like I've done something wrong
Boy, how could you dare
(How many times) how many times
(Must I break down and cry?) Must I break down and cry?
I'm confused my understanding was true love should never die
(How many times) how many times
(Will you kill me inside?) Will you, will you kill me inside?
(Any kind of fool should see) any kind of fool should see
(The light) the light
Why can't I?
(How many times) how many times
(Must I break down and cry?) Must I break down and cry?
(I'm confused my understanding) I'm confused my understanding
(Was true love should never die) was true love should never die
(How many times) how many times (will you kill me inside?) Yeah, baby
(Any kind of fool should see) any kind of fool should see the light
But why can't I?
You're wrong, you know it
