Standard (EADGBE)

How many days of sadness must I

Spend to get one day of gladness

And tell me how much sorrow must I

Spend to get one bright tomorrow

You must have good times just giving me bad times

Must you always be so cruel?

You used to be so wonderful to me

Why did you change my happiness to misery and heartbreak

How many days of sadness must I spend

To get one day of gladness

How long, how long must I be lonely

Tell me when will your heart want me only

When will you take me, just take me and hold me

Oh yeah, hold me and with each breath that you take

Love me, tell me you are mine, want me till the end of time

Instrumental verse

Love me, tell me you are mine, want me till the end of time

 Oh please love me, how many days are lonely days,

(Tell me, tell me) The way you give me happiness

 (How many days of) Take away this misery

(Tell me, tell me) When will you give your love to me
