I tried to give you all I have, to prove that I'm not bluffing. They say it's a

man with nothing to lose who winds up losing nothing. My head is full of dreams

and schemes and my tongue tied up from talking. How many times do you have to

fall, before you end up walking?

I tried to give you all I have, I thought our love was strong. I always thought

I'd treat you right, how did I get you wrong? Won't you even open up the door to

see the wares I'm hawking? How many times do you have to fall, before you end up

walking?

Won't you give me one more chance? I couldn't do much worse. I emptied out my

heart for you before it has to burst. I'm too hungry not to wait, you're the

game I'm stalking. How many times do you have to fall, before you end up walking?

Here's how the lyrics should read:



Well, you broke my heart so many times

I can't count the pieces,

Every time you push me down

It seems my strength increases.

How many times do you have to cry,

While people stand there gawking?

How many times do you have to fall

Before you end up walking?



Tried to give you all I had

To prove that I'm not bluffing,

They say it's a man with nothing to lose

Who ends up losing nothing.

My head's full of scheming schemes,

My tongue's tied up with talking.

How many times do you have to fall

Before you end up walking?



Tried to give you all I had

To prove my love was strong.

Thought that I could treat you right,

How did I treat you wrong?

Won't you even open the door

To see the wares I'm hawking?

How many times do you have to fall

Before you end up walking?



Won't you give me one more chance

I couldn't do no worse

Empty out my heart for you

Before it has to burst

I'm too hungry not to win

And you're the game I'm stalking

How many times do you have to fall

Before you end up walking?



At least that's how Richard Thompson sings it (sometimes he mixes up the opening lines of verses 2 and 3--but they're kinda interchangeable anyway).  I think the Fairport version keeps Richard's lyrics--they certainly make much more sense than what's transcribed!
