Run Sweet Auburn find your face
   Anotheer crowd another place, you ain't changed a thing
   'Cos you're the girl who used to smile
   Stayed up all night on the crooked mile, that's how it used to be
   But even the sweetest auburn fades like colous do
  
   How many roads do I have to take
   Before I catch up with you baby?
   How much love do I have to waste
   Before you believe what I say?
  
   Go on take the horseshoe from your glove
   'Cos I've got balls to call your bluff, no I ain't dead yet
   Being everybody's darlin' ain't easy
   You can keep your sugar and sympathy
   'Cause even the sweetest auburn fades like colous do
  
   How many roads do I have to take
   Before I catch up with you baby?
   How much love do I have to waste
   Before you believe what I say?
   How many hearts do you have to break
   To get what you needed?
   There's not enough time for us to waste
   If only you'd hear what I say
  
   In the middle of the night
   I could swear I heard her calling
   In the middle of the day
   How many roads?
  
   How many roads do I have to take

   How much love do I have to waste
   Before you believe what I say?
   How many hearts do you have to break
   To get what you needed?
   There's not enough time for us to waste
   If only you'd hear what I say
  
   In the middle of the night (How many roads?)
   Swear I heard you calling (How many hearts?)
   In the middle of the day (How much love/How many words?)
