Píseň: How Many Times

Interpret:
Aretha Franklin
Album:
Rose Is Still a Rose
You used to tell me you loved me
You used to show me you cared
I used to be the one that you adored
But lately I don’t feel you love me anymore


See I don’t understand what’s come over you
And I don’t understand why I let you treat me so cruel
So tell me


How many times must I break down and cry
I’m confused
My understanding was true love should never die


How many will you kill me inside?
And any kind of fool should see the light
Why cant I


Time after time, I have tried and tried
To give you some space, some time
But no matter what I do it’s never enough
You just refuse to try to do by me right


How many times must I break down and cry
I’m confused
My understanding was true love should never die


How many will you kill me inside?
And any kind of fool should see the light
Why cant I


I gave my heart and soul; I gave my all you know
I deserve better baby
Oh so much better baby
You know it’s not fair


For you to act like just don’t care
For you to act like I’ve done something wrong
Boy how could you dare


How many times must I break down and cry
I’m confused
My understanding was true love should never die


How many will you kill me inside?
And any kind of fool should see the light
Why cant I
