Many Too Many

many too many

have stood where i stand

many more

will stand here too

the thing that i find strange is the way

you build me up

and knock me down again

oh, it was fun

but now it's over

why cant I

just leave the stage

maybe that's because you securely locked me up

and threw away the key

oh mama

please would you find the key

oh pretty mama

please, wont you let me go free

I thought I was lucky

I thought that I'd got it made

how could i be so blind

you said goodbye on a corner

that I thought led to the straight

you set me on firmly laid and simple course

and then removed the road

oh mama

please help me find my way

oh pretty mama

please lead me through the next day

I thought I was lucky

I thought that I'd got it made

how coould I be so blind
