How many tears must I cry
Before your heart is satisfied
How many flames must I walk through
Before I make it up to you

I wanna ask now how much
Oh how much
Oh how much
Oh much does it have to hurt to make it right

I've been a fool I confess
But I know in your heart you love me no less
Just tell me how bad must my body ache
Before I live down my one mistake

I keep wonderin' how much
Oh how much
Oh how much
How much does it have to hurt to get back in your life

Just how much does it thrill you
To see me down on my knees
Don't you know I love you baby .... mercy please

I keep wonderin' how much
Oh how much
Oh how much
Oh how much does it have to hurt to make it right
I wanna make it right
I keep wonderin' how much
I keep wonderin' how much
How many tears must I cry
