How many "sorrys" does it take
For it to have no meaning
How many "thanks for being there's"
Before the words leave you cold

How many "Hey friend" does it take
For you not to lend an ear
How many "promise to be there's'
Before the words get too old

How many times does it take
To finish second to one and all
Not to want to answer the call
How many times does it take

How many smiles does it take
Before you see the daggers
How many "I'll call you later's"
"til you disconnect the phone

How many "hello's" does it take
Before you know it's goodbye
How many "I'll hook-up with you"
Until you despise those words

How many times does it take
to finish second to one and all
Not to want to answer the call
How many times does it take

HOW MANY TIMES DOES IT TAKE
