Are you ever so silent, when she wanted to talk
Or couldn't keep quiet, when she needed a hug
Come on too strong, when a little's too much
How many, how many, say i

Go on and say yes, and really mean no
Would you rather guess, when you just don't know
And then say i love you, but aren't willing to show
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i

How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i

Say live and let live, then so quick to judge
Slow to forgive, when you're holding a grudge
Don't always believe, all you need is love
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i

How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i

Did you ever look down when the homeless walked by
Or changed the channel when you saw a hungry child
Know something to be true, then deny
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
