are you ever so silent, when she wanted to talk
  or couldn't keep quiet, when she needed a hug
  come on too strong, when a little's too much
  how many, how many, say i
    go on and say yes, and really mean no
  would you rather guess, when you just don't know
  and then say i love you, but aren't willing to show
  how many, how many, say i
  how many, how many, say i
    how many, how many, say i
  how many, how many, say i
    say live and let live, then so quick to judge
  slow to forgive, when you're holding a grudge
  don't always believe, all you need is love
  how many, how many, say i
  how many, how many, say i
  how many, how many, say i
    how many, how many, say i
  how many, how many, say i
  how many, how many, say i
  how many, how many, say i
    did you ever look down when the homeless walked by
  or changed the channel when you saw a hungry child
  know something to be true, then deny
  how many, how many, say i
  how many, how many, say i
  how many, how many, say i
