HOW MANY TEARS (CAN YOU CRY)
(Gerry Goffin / Carole King) 
Bobby Vee


(Female scat "Yum diddy dum diddy um" at start & between verses) 

How many tears can you cry when you're sad & lonely? 
& how many tears can you cry when someone makes you blue? 
That's a question I'm still unable to answer 
'Cause I can't stop my cryin' over you 

How many lies can you can you count when you just can't sleep at 
night? 
& how many lies can you count before your heart is free? 
That's a question I'm still unable to answer 
'Cause I'm still countin' the lies you told to me 

There's just no end to all the broken promises that I recall 
I was a fool to fall for you 
It hurts to know you played a game & went & had yourself a ball 
& through it all made me blue 

How many tears can you cry when it all is over? 
& how many tears can you cry when you want someone new? 
That's a question I'm still unable to answer 
'Cause I can't stop my love for you
