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  [repeats 2x]
