How many years Keep on slipping away And it seems that your life doesn't matter You never had a chance
How many ways is a love torn apart And you look to your heart For some answers Don't let it slip away
Can't blame myself anymore I've been beaten and accused before Well I took some bad advice And I paid too high a price I could sell my soul You know I wouldn't think twice
How many times must a man fall down I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh How many dreams have to fall to the ground It goes on an' on an' on an' on an' on yeah
How many times do you look for some sign That there's hope And your life has some meaning Almost every day
Maybe I was born to wander I got no high hopes any longer So tell me my friend Just where does it end Is nothin' ever gonna free me From this hell I'm livin' in
How many times must a man fall down I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh How many dreams have to fall to the ground It goes on an' on an' on an' on an' on yeah
Can't blame myself anymore I've been beaten and accused before So tell me my friend Just where does it end I'm sick and tired Of livin' in a rat race that no one ever wins
How many times must a man fall down I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh How many dreams have to fall to the ground It goes on an' on an' on an' on an' on yeah
