Genesis
Many Too Many
[Verse 1]
Many too many have stood where I stand
Many more will stand here too
The thing what I find strange is the way you built me up
Then knocked me down again
The part was fun but now it's over
Why can't I just leave the stage?
Maybe that's because you securely locked me up
Then threw away the key

[Chorus 1]
Oh, mama, please would you find the key
Oh, pretty mama, please won't you let me go free
I thought I was lucky, I thought that I'd got it made
How could I be so blind?

[Verse 2]
You said goodbye on a corner
That I thought led to the straight
You set me on a firmly laid and simple course
And then removed the road

[Chorus 2]
Oh, mama, please help me find our way
Oh, pretty mama, please lead me through the next day
I thought I was lucky, oh, I thought that I'd got it made
How could I be so blind? Oh
