How Often Lyrics

[Verse 1: LaVern Baker & Ben E. King & Both]
How often (How often) have I told you (I've told you) that I love you?
How often (How often) have I told you (mm-hmm) that I care?
How often have I told you that I'll be true
To no, no one but you?


[Verse 2: LaVern Baker & Ben E. King & Both]
(How often) How often (have I told you) have you told me (that I miss you?) mm-mm-mm-hmm-mm
(How often) How often (have I longed) have you longed (to kiss you?) Oh-oh-oh, oh
How often have I told you that I am yours?
I'm yours and yours alone?


[Bridge: LaVern Baker & Ben E. King]
I wonder if our love is real
(But I've told you, oh just how I feel)
How will I know that you'll be true?
('Cause I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with you, oh)

[Verse 1: LaVern Baker & Ben E. King & Both]
(How often) How often (have I told you) have you told me (that I love you?) Mm-mm
(How often) How often (have I told you) have you told me (that I care?) Mm-mm
How often have I told you that I'll be true
To no, no one but you?


[Guitar Solo]
[Outro: Both]
How often have I told you that I'll be true
To no, no one but you?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
