Diana Ross - Too Many Nights lyrics

Too many nights

Too many tears

Too many years

Too many nights I`ve waited around for you

As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn`t even sleep

Too many tears I`ve cried but now I`m through

I`m ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won`t pretend

I thought that I could make it on my own

And the thought of starting over again

Scared me into staying here with you

Long after all the heartache began

I`m through with waiting in an empty bed

One for dinner when it should be two

I`m tired of holding back what should be said

I`m gonna let it go and stand up to you

Hey, too many nights I`ve waited around for you

As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn`t even sleep

Too many tears I`ve cried but now I`m through

I`m ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won`t pretend

My pride was swallowed one too many times

I`ve kept on turning my back on the truth

Now I`m as serious as a heart attack

`Coz I`ve decided baby, we`re through

I`m growing stronger from experience

The woman in me`s taking a stand

You taught me good, I learned my lesson well

And I`m never gonna let it happen again, no

Too many nights I`ve waited around for you

As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn`t even sleep

Too many tears I`ve cried but now I`m through

I`m ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won`t pretend

I`m gonna turn the page

Put heartache in the past

I gotta think about getting strong

And I`ll put all those memories on the shelf

And make the space for someone else

(Too many nights I`ve waited around for you)

Too many nights

(Too many nights)

Too many nights

Hey, too many tears I`ve cried but now I`m through

(I`m through)

I`m ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won`t pretend

Too many nights I`ve waited around for you

I`ve waited around for you

As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn`t even sleep

Too many tears I`ve cried but now I`m through

I cried, cried, cried

Too many nights

Too many tears

Too many years
