How Many Times

How many times will you fall

And stand alone with your back to the wall

How many times will it take

Till you crawl out from behind your mistake

How many points did you win today

How many times will you grow up all the way

What is it you want to hear from me

Don't think of running out of sympathy

I don't know what you expected I can't get into your shoes

The minute you decide you're gonna take that ride

There's a change you might win but then again you might loose

I never said it be easy not ever gave guarantees

The things you have to do are mostly up to you

And I wouldn't stop you I couldn't even if I tried

Come on and give me that smile

I like to think you are worth my while

How many points did you win today

How many times will you grow up all the way

What is it you want to hear from me

Don't think of running out of sympathy

You don't get something for nothing they don't give it away

You want to do what's right you got to stand and fight

And don't pay much attention to the empty things they say

Life can be something you suffered

Something you can endure

When I combine the two I still come up with you

Standing before me with fire in your eyes

Come on and give me that smile

I like to think your worth my while

How many points did you win today

How many times will you grow up all the way

What is it you want to hear from me

Don't think of running out of sympathy

How many times will you fall

And stand alone with your back to the wall

How many times will it take

Till you crawl out from behind your mistake

How many points did you win today

How many times will you grow up all the way
