[Chorus]

How long

Has this been going on?

How long

Has this been going on?


[Verse 1]

Well, your friend with her fancy persuasion

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

But I can't help but have my suspicions

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


[Verse 2]

And you said you was never intended

To break up our loving this way

But there ain't any use in pretending

'Cause it could happen to us any day


[Chorus]

Tell me, how long

Has this been going on?

How long

Has this been going on?

How long

Has this been going on?


[Verse 3]

Well, a woman can tell when she's losing

The hold that she's got on her man

And I can't help but feel that you're choosing

Her and I must take a stand


[Verse 4]

Well, you say that you still feel the same way

And that you're not making plans to leave

But the talk that I hear from your so-called friend

Makes it hard for me to believe


[Chorus]

How long

Has this been going on?

How long, just how long

Has this been going on?

How long, how long

How long

Has this been going on?

How long, how long

How long

Has this been going on?

How long, just how long

Has this been going on?

How long

How long
