How Many Times

Ricky Nelson


Who am I to pass judgment on you 
We knew it couldn't last, those things seldom do 
You can't live your life just pleasing me 
But I can't sacrifice what I want to be 

I'm leaving cause I just can't take anymore 
Find the person who I was before 
How many times you fooled me 
How many times you lied to me woman 
I've been such a fool playin' your games 
Now I know the rules, I'm losing just the same 
We just can't go on living like we do 
I know I been wrong chasing after you 

Now it's good-bye, maybe someday we can be friends 
Even find time to love again 
How many times you fooled me 
How many times you lied to me woman 

There's not much left to say that hasn't been said 
I'll be on my way, a long road lies ahead 
It's all in the past, so much we've learned 
All good things must pass, a lesson well learned 

I'm leaving cause I just can't take anymore 
Find the person who I was before 
How many times you fooled me 
How many times you lied to me woman
