How many tears can you cry
When you're sad and lonely
And how many tears can you cry
When someone makes you blue

That's a question
I'm still unable to answer
'Cause I can't stop
My crying over you

Now how many lies can you can you count
When you just can't sleep at night
And how many lies can you count
Before your heart is free

That's a question
I'm still unable to answer
'Cause I'm still counting
The lies you told to me
There's just no end to all
The broken promises that I recall
I was a fool to fall for you

It hurts to know you played a game
And went and had yourself a ball
And through it all, you made me blue

How many tears can you cry
Till the longing's over
And how many tears can you cry
Till you you want someone new
That's a question
I'm still unable to answer
'Cause I can't stop my love for you

Well, that's a question
I'm still unable to answer
'Cause I can't stop my love for you

How many tears can you cry
I said how many tears can you cry
Oh, oh, how many tears can you cry
Tell me, how many tears can you cry
Now how many tears can you cry
