How Many Loves

You said this isn't working, got to move on
You may be right, perfection this is not
But what's the perfect love like
A flower or a flame?
You got something, you want everything
And never what you've got

'Cause how many times can you fall in love?
And how many loves make a life?

Sweet happiness they say comes in doses
Are they numbered and what's left of my stock
Thinking three a.m. thoughts
In the three a.m. dark
Am I listening to my heartbeat
Or the ticking of the clock

And how many times can you fall in love?
And how many loves make a life?

The girl behind the counter made his heart throb
He paid and got his change and turned to go
Thinks he'll ask her out tomorrow
But tomorrow she'll be gone
It will take three weeks till he won't
Dream about her anymore

Thinking, how many times can you fall in love?
And how many loves make a life?
