How Many Times

Lyrics

[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
