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

(Instrumental break)

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
