HOW MANY TEARDROPS
Lou Christie


How many teardrops must I cry till you believe in me? 
& how many teardrops must I dry to end this misery? 

I wanna know: how many teardrops must I cry yi yi yi yi 
Must I cry, have to fall 
To say you're mine (you're mine) only mine (you're mine) 
Mi yi yi yi yi yine 

I wish I knew the reason why you've gone & made me blue 
You didn't even tell me that you & I were through 
I wanna know: how many teardrops must I cry 
Must I cry, have to fall 
To say you're mine (you're mine) only mine 

It's all a part of a little game that you had cooked up for me 
Tryin' to find out just how much you really mean to me 
If that's the reason for leavin', there's no reason to explain 
'Cause baby, I really need you like the roses need the rain 

I wanna know: how many teardrops must I cry yi yi yi yi 
Must I cry, have to fall 
To say you're mine (how many teardops) 
Oh must I cry (how many teardrops) 
Oh must I cry (how many teardrops)
