How Many Nights?

How many Nights
must a girl sit lonely..
by two phones that just aren't going
to ring?
and How many Nights
must a girl pine for you only...
and some lie you told about
the late birthday present you
was meaning to bring?/

/How many Nights
must a girl sit waiting..
for a text, e-mail or
instant message from you?
and How many Nights
must she sit complaining
to her girlfriends about
all that you won't do..?/

/You fill her head up with words
of passion..
You tell her that you'll be with
her as soon as you are free..
but you never match your words
with any action..
and I keep trying to tell her
that she'd be better off with
me../

/How many nights must the girl
sit waiting
hoping maybe you'll call or come
around?
How many nights must the girl
keep anticipating..
while you're out with some other
girl you've found?/

/and finnally brother...
How many nights must the girl
turn me away...
because she's waiting for you
to make a stand?
How many nights must the girl
suffer needless heartbreak
when we both know you'll never
be her man?/

/You fill her head up with
words of passion..
You tell her you'll be her man
as soon as you are free...
We both know that you'll never
turn your words into action..
She'd be so much better off with
me../

/ How many nights must the girl
sit daydreaming..
of a love that's never going
to be..??
How many nights must the girl
waste her time dreaming...
when real love is right here waiting
with me?/
