How many years have to pass me by?
How many tears must this poor girl cry?
Fitting that I see you at the masquerade
You were show in off the pretty mask that you made

(Think about you)
And the love that we never made
(Dreaming about you)
All the things you said to me
(I wanna go out with you)
Won't you come dive with me, sweetheart?
(Obviously as they say)
Far too late

When I'm up, there ain't no king
who can pull me down
I'll be throwing the wildest parties
have all my friends about
Well you think they weren't law
Oh! But when they drop your name
Then I'm not about to be in blue again

(Think about you)
And the love that we never made
(Dreaming about you)
All the things you said to me
(I wanna go out with you)
Won't you come dive with me, sweetheart?
(Obviously as they say)
Far too late
Late in the day
Far too late
Late in the day
How many years have to pass me by?

How many tears must I cry?
Oh! How many years?
(How many years have to pass me by?)
How many years am I gonna cry over you
(How many tears must I cry?)
Oh! How many tears, how many tears I'm gonna cry?
