"How Many Times" lyrics - THE PROCLAIMERS

Well it takes a long time
To find the right woman
The best one there is
Not the best you can do
It takes a long time
To find the right woman
Some men never do
I spent half my life
Lying to girls
Who were looking for love
Where it didn't exist
The rest of the time
I was worrying myself
About what it was that I'd missed

[Chorus:]
How many times
I don't know, I don't know
How many times
I don't know but when it happened my heart started to go...
Ooh-aah, ooh-aah
Ooh-aah, ooh-aah

I didn't trust you
From the moment I saw you
I didn't trust you
And I know it was right
But my head and my heart
Have been fighting a battle
And my heart started winning last night

[Chorus]

Well I'm bored by pain and I'm tired of sorrow
Give me the word and I'll leave here tomorrow
I don't giva a damn about anything else
The rest of the world can go and hang themselves

Ooh-aah...
