How Many Times Do You Have To Fall  Fairport Convention



[A]You broke my heart so[E] many times that I can'[D]t count the [A]pieces. E[A]very time
[E]you push me down, it [D]seems my love[A] increases. [E]How many times do you have to
[A]fall, [E]while others stand there [D]gawking? [A]How many times do you [E]have to fall,
[D]before you end up [A]walking?
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!
