How many cabs in New York City, how many angels on a pin
How many notes on a saxophone, how many tears in a bottle of gin
How many times did you called my name,
Knock at the door but you couldn't get in
I know, I've been, careless
I've been wrapped up in a shell, nothing could get through to me
Acted like I didn't know I had friends and family
I saw worry in your eyes, it didn't look that clear to me
I know, I've been, careless
I lost my tenderness
I've been careless
I took bad care of this
Like a mixture in a bottle, like a frozen over lake
Like a long-time, painted smile I got so hard I had to crack
You were there, you held the line
You're the one that brought me back
I know I've been careless
I lost my tenderness
I've been careless
I took bad care of this
How many cabs in New York City,
How many angels on a pin (I've been careless)
How many notes on a saxophone,
How many tears in a bottle of gin (I lost my tenderness)
How many times did you called my name,
Knock at the door but you couldn't get in (I've been careless)
How many stars in the milky way,
How many ways can you lose a friend (I took bad care of this)
I know I've been careless
I lost my tenderness
I've been careless
I took bad care of this
I know I've been careless
I lost my tenderness
