How Many Times

How Many Times Lyrics

Being nice never got you anywhere
Being sweet got you in troubles there
Being nice no never got you very far
You cop it sweet now get on play your part

Sweet memory can't help you grow
Unless you want to live in the past
And live in what you know
You know the rules where'd they ever get you
Someone's gonna push until they get a rise out of you

So come out and say it
This ain't the way you wanted to play it
When your frustration flies over your eyes
And you see your girl with another guy

How many times are you going to live this through
He ain't gonna change, he doesn't deserve you
If you're gonna try well it's got to come true
Pick up all your strength and we'll be waiting here for you

If you're got your doubts, think a year down the line
If you think it's bad now, well baby give it time
He seems to squeeze, all the love out of you
I'm scared he ain't gonna leave nothing left for you

So come out and say it
This ain't the way you wanted to play it
When your frustration flies over your eyes
And you see your boy with another girl

Oh being nice never got you anywhere
Being sweet got you in troubles there
Oh being nice no never got you very far
You cop it sweet now get on play your part

So come out and say it
This ain't the way you wanted to play it
When your frustration flies over your eyes
And you see your boy with another girl

Oh did it take you
Did it take you by surprise
Did it take you
Did it take you
Did it take you by surprise
