How Many Times

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
