[Verse 1: Jules Shear]
Some love only goes so far
It won't go all the way
Every time we cross the line
Our feelings are betrayed
[Verse 2: Carole King]
But you just can't ignore it
When the news is bad
You wake one day to find you wasted
Everything you had
[Chorus: Jules & Carole]
Don't ask me if it's died
Ask me how many times
Don't ask me if we tried
Ask me how many times
Don't ask me if it's right
Or if we put out the light
Just when it started to shine
Ask me how many times
[Verse 3: Carole]
For some a love is well defined
Like the way they breathe and eat
It comes to them so easily
They do it in their sleep
[Verse 4: Jules]
But we grew up the hard way
And only searched for lust
I don't think that either of us
Ever learned to trust
[Chorus: Jules & Carole]
Don't ask me if it's died
Ask me how many times
Don't ask me if we lied
Ask me how many times
Don't ask me if it's right
Or if we put out the light
Just when it started to shine
Ask me how many times
[Bridge: Jules & Carole, Jules]
It isn't right
It isn't fair
Love takes you every place
But we're still standing here
[Chorus: Jules & Carole, Jules]
Don't ask me if it's died
Ask me how many times
Don't ask me if we cried
Ask me how many times
Don't ask me if it's right
Or if we put out the light
Just when it started to shine
Ask me how many times
Don't ask if we passed the warning signs
Ask me how many times
