How Many Times, How Many Lies

They were tryin' to tell me something
Oh, but I was hearing nothing when they said you was just playin' me
I didn't listen, I didn't want to
You couldn't find a blinder fool

I'm here, searching through the wreckage
Wonderin' why the message never got through
And I found I misplaced all my faith
How could I put my faith in you?

How many times? How many lies?
How long you been sneaking?
How long you been creeping around?
How many lies? How many times?
Were you here deceiving
When I was here believing in you?

I got to put the blame on myself
Should've known what everyone else
Soon they knew you was just bad news

I should've walked out
(Should've walked out)
I should've stayed clear
(Should've stayed clear)
Glad your sad ass is out of here

I've gone and thrown out all the records
All the ones that ever reminded me of you
I've gone and tore up all the pictures
'Cause there was not one shred of truth, oh

How many times? How many lies?
How long you been sneaking?
How long you been creeping around?
How many lies? How many times?
Were you here deceiving
When I was here believing in you?

There were so many times, there were so many lies
I don't know why I stayed on you
There were so many days, there were so many games
I should've thrown your sad ass out
But now the game is through, I'll never trust in you
I've finally got wise, I opened up my eyes, your game is over

I've gone and thrown out all the records
All the ones that ever reminded me of you
I've gone and tore up all the pictures
'Cause there was not one shred of truth, no, no, no

How many times? How many lies?
How long you been sneaking?
How long you been creeping around?
Come on, tell me, how many lies? How many times?
Were you here deceiving
When I was here believing in you?

How many times? How many lies?
How long you been sneaking?
How long you been creeping around?
Come on, tell me, how many lies? How many times?
Were you here deceiving
When I was here believing in you?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I opened up my eyes
Oh, oh, yeah
