How many times will you shut the door?
How many times must I be ignored?
How many times?
Again I try; how many times will I get no reply?
I have called you so many times, you wouldn’t listen,
I have called you so many times, but you wouldn’t listen,
When you’re standing at the gate, and you find that it’s too late,
You’ll hear me then, with tears in your eyes,
Don’t say you never knew – you knew exactly what to do,
You’ll listen then, with tears in your eyes.
With open arms I’d welcome you,
With open arms I’d give you all that’s good and true,
With open arms I’m calling you,
With open arms, the ones the nails went through.
I have called you so many times, you wouldn’t listen,
I have called you so many times, you wouldn’t listen,
When you’re standing at the gate, and you find that it’s too late,
You’ll hear me then, with tears in your eyes,
Don’t say you never knew – you knew exactly what to do,
You’ll listen then, with tears in your eyes.
How many times will you shut the door?
How many times must I be ignored?
How many times?
Again I cry; how many times will I get no reply?
I have called you so many times, you wouldn’t listen,
I have called you so many times, but you wouldn’t listen,
When you’re standing at the gate, and you find that it’s too late,
You’ll hear me then, with tears in your eyes,
Don’t say you never knew – you knew exactly what to do,
You’ll listen then, with tears in your eyes.
