(1982)
How many times will you fall
And stand alone with your back to the wall
How many times will it take
Till you crawl out from behind your mistake
How many points did you win the day
How many times will you throw them all away
What is it you wanna hear from me
Well I think, I’m runnin’ out of sympathy
I don’t know what you expected
I can’t get into your shoes
The minute you decide
You’re gonna take that ride
There’s a chance you might win
And then again you might lose
I never said, it’d be easy
Not ever gave guarantees
The things you have to do
Are mostly up to you
But I wouldn’t stop you
I couldn’t even if I tried
Come on and give me that smile
I like to think you’re worth my while
How many points did you win the day
How many times will you throw them all away
What is it you wanna hear from me
Well I think, I’m runnin’ out of sympathy
You don’t get something for nothing
They don’t give it away
You wanna do what’s right
You gotta stand and fight
You don’t pay much attention
To the empty things they say
Life can be something you suffer
Something you can enjoy
When I combine the two
I still come up with you
Standin’ before me with fire in your eyes
Come on and give me that smile
I like to think you’re worth my while
How many points did you win the day
How many times will you throw them all away
What is it you wanna hear from me
Well I think, I’m runnin’ out of sympathy
How many times will you fall
And stand alone with your back to the wall
How many times will it take
Till you crawl out from behind your mistake
How many points did you win the day
How many times will you throw them all away
How many points did you win the day
How many times will you throw them all away
How many points did you win the day, oh
How many times will you throw them all away
How many points did you win the day
How many times will you throw them all away
How many points did you win the day, oh
How many times will you throw them all away
