So many nights I lay awake
I lay here thinking
'Bout a man I used to love
I can't sleep but no good to count sheep
I'll just count the worries
That I've got plenty of
How many times must I be the fool
Before I can make it
Oh  make it on home
I've got to find a place to sing my words
There ain't nobody listening to my song

You talk about a life
Been searching for the key
But can't find an answer to comfort me
I ask myself about love
Can't even find the door
And take me to a place
I've never seen before
But how many times must I be the fool
Before I can make it  oh  make it on home
I've got to find a place to sing my words
There ain't nobody listening
Listening to my song

How many times must I be the fool
You talk about a life
Searching for the key
I can't find an answer to comfort me
To comfort me  to comfort me

And take me to a place I've never seen before
I've never seen before  I've never seen before
Place I've never seen before  baby  I've never

I've never  I've never  I've never  yeah
I've never seen before
