Counting the minutes

Counting the hours

Counting the long lonely days

'Til I can hold you again

And it hurts you so far away

Remember all of those times

That we shared together

When all you wanted to do

Was stay locked in my loving arms

But now you have gone your way

So long I have waited for you

Can't you see

How many tears I have shed

Don't you know

How many drops I have bled

Tell me, how many times

Does my heart have to break

'Til you know I love you so

Ooh...

Every stripe that I bore on my back

Was so that you would not suffer pain

But there you go again

And it hurts to see you that way

I gave everything that I could give

For the chance to hold you again

But you keep turning away, away

Even still, I love you the same

So long I have waited for you

Can't you see

How many tears I have shed

Don't you know

How many drops I have bled

Tell me, how many times

Does my heart have to break

'Til you know I love you so

Ooh, I love you

So long I have waited for you

Can't you see

How many tears I have shed

Don't you know

How many drops I have bled

Tell me, how many times

Does my heart have to break

(Don't you know

How many drops I have bled)

Can't you see

How many tears I have shed

Don't you know

How many drops I have bled

I have bled so many drops...
