How Many Hearts Must You Break Songtext
von Billy Joe Shaver

How many hearts must you break?
I′ve known you such a long, long time
And your wife is a good friend of mine
God knows, she's got every right to do wrong
But she′s not the travelling kind

She would lay down her life for you
That's more than the others will do
But I wonder how long she can keep hanging on
To someone who's proven untrue


How many hearts must you break?
Just look at the chances you take
A fool in your arms may be your last mistake
And how many hearts must you break?

I once heard a wise man say
"Each lesson′s worth learning today"
The stars only come out when night time rolls ′round
And idles have feet made of clay

You see I can see me in you
And I know what you're coming to
The tables you selfishly set for yourself
Will soon be turning on you

How many hearts must you break?
Just look at the chances you take
A fool in your arms may be your last mistake
How many hearts must you break?
