HOW MANY


How many times must I reach for you
before I start letting go?
How can a face tell me more than a word
and more than I want to know?
Though you’ve never belonged to me
I can live with a lie.

CHORUS:
How can I turn away and not hold on?
How can the weak have a love so strong?
How can I stop when I know it’s wrong?
I know it’s wrong.

How many times can I lie to myself -
seeing a chance in your eyes?
How can you stop, can you turn away
before you give it a try?
Can’t I tell you hello, babe
Before I tell you good-bye?

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Maybe she can’t be
what we could be
Give it a chance, here with me.

How many times can a friendly kiss
take a lover’s place?
How can your hand reach for only my hand
and not touch my face?
You can feel if you want to
What I’m feeling inside.

REPEAT CHORUS
