So many nights I lay awake
I lay here thinkin' about a man
I used to love
Can't sleep but no good to count sheep
I'll just count the worries
That I've got plenty of

How many times
Must I be the fool
Before I can make it
Oh make it on home
I've got to find a place to sing my words
And ain't nobody listening to my song

You talk about a life
Been searching for the key
I can't find an answer
To comfort me
I ask myself about love
Can't even find the door
To take me to a place
I've never seen before

But how many times
Must I be the fool
Before I can make it
Oh make it on home
I've got to find a place to sing my words
And ain't nobody listening...
Listening to my song

How many times
Must I be the fool
You talk about a life
Been searching for the key
I can't find an answer
To comfort me
To comfort me!
To comfort me!

To take me to a place
I've never seen before
I've never seen before!
I've never seen before!
Place...
I've never seen before
I never...
I never...
I never...
I never...
I've never seen before
