(Writers K Fleming / DW Morgan)
How many days
How many ways
Do I have to lose you
'Til you're gone?
How many nights
How many lonely nights
Do I have to lose you darlin'
'Til you're gone?
Bridge 1:
It happens every time
I think I'm gettin' over you
Something 'bout somebody new
Gets me thinkin' about you
Chorus:
How many times
How many times
Do I have to lose you
'Til you're gone?
Bridge 2:
I see you on the Late Show
I hear you on the radio
Darlin' everywhere I go
Your memory is there
Repeat Chorus:
(How many times?) I wanna know
(How many times?) Do I have to lose you Darlin' 'til you're gone?
(How many times?) How many dayshow many nights'til you're gone?
(How many times?) I wanna know
(How many times?) I wanna know Darlin'
