TOO MANY TIMES
(Anthony McShear / Scott Page / Michael Smotherman)


Earl Thomas Conley & Anita Pointer - 1986




Rivalries between sons and fathers
Caused me to hurt that Dad of mine
How I'd love to bring him back and say I'm sorry
But the world has turned too many times


Tension between friends and lovers
Can cause you to go over the line
How I'd love to call some up and talk it over
But the world has turned too many times


Oh, too many times I felt I should be freer
And too many times I ended up alone
Oh, too many times I tried to prove them all a liar
When they said you can never go home


A vow we take when we say forever
Left unattended just dies on the vine
Now I wonder if forever wonders ever
If the world has turned too many times


Oh, too many times I felt I should be freer
And too many times I ended up alone
Oh, too many times I tried to prove them all a liar
When they said I will never go home


Tensions between friends and lovers
Make you feel like you're losing your mind
What I'd give to rewind and start all over
But the world has turned too many times


Rivalries do not breed loyalty
Rivalries do not breed loyalty
(Keep turning me, oh, too many times)
(Round and round and round too many times)
