How Long lyrics

How long has this been going on?

How long has this been going on?

Well your friends and their fancy persuasion

Don't admit that it's part of a scheme

But I can't help but have my suspictions

'cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem

Well you said you was never intending

To break up our scene in this way

But there ain't any use in pretending

It could happen to us any day

How long has this been going on?

How long has this been going on?

How long and how long has this been going on?

How long and how long has this been going on?

How long baby?

Oh, your friends and their gentle persuation

Don't admit that it's part of a scheme

But I can't help but have my suspictions

'cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem

Well you said you was never intending

To break up our scene in this way

But there ain't any use in pretending

It could happen to us any day

Tell me honey

How long has this been going on?

How long has this been going on?

How long and how long has this been going on

Going on, going on?

How long has this been going on?

How long has this been going on

Going on, going on, going on?

How long, honey, oh, has this been going on?

How long has this been going on?

How long has this been going on, going on, going on, going on?

How long has this been going on, going on, going on?

You been treaten me mad you been treaten me bad

And it's been going on, going on, going on

I ain't quite as dumb as I seem

I ain't quite the fool you mean

But it's been going on, going on, going on, going on
