Ricky Nelson - How Many Times

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
