The Proclaimers › Lyrics › How Many Times

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

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

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

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

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 give a damn about anything else
The rest of the world can go and hang themselves
