Lyrics
HOW MANY TIMES
© 10/07/09 by Rod Tompkins & Paul G. West, Sr.
(3rd Person version)
She thought she was standing solid in the final round
At Harrah's, on the Vegas strip, gonna' nail it down
He led her to that king-size table in the tournament of love
She just knew they we were two of a kind a hand dealt from above
But, a cocktail queen answered the "want-you call" in his eyes
When he stuffed that chip in those push-up Double D's she got wise!
How many times must she give her heart away?
Have to Pick up her chips and walk away
Leaving her pride on the table
In the game she pays to play
How many times till she finds the one who stays?
Making a fools bet letting them have their way
So many times before she's forgotten
How many times?
Flipped a chip to the dealer headed out minus her pride
At the curb she dodged some keys to a fancy ride
She heard "sorry" from a GQ guy stepping from the crowd
Guess he read her hurt was gonna' reel her in with his smile
As he dug out a tip, his little gold band hit the ground
The reality hit her he was just another well dressed clown
Chorus
GQ was determined to know if his keys had made her cry
So she let him have it, right between the eyes!
How many times must she give her heart away?
Have to Pick up her chips and walk away
Leaving her pride on the table
In the game she pays to play
How many times till she finds the one who stays?
Making a fools bet letting them have their way
So many times before she's forgotten
How many times?
How many times must she give her heart away?
Have to Pick up her chips and walk away
Leaving her pride on the table in the game she pays to play
How many times?
