There's been some hard times, I had it rough
But I found out the hard way, I could be tough
And I knew that deep down
No matter how it might be
I could always depend on
The one who loved me, loved me!
How long, has this been goin' on?
How long, has this been goin' on?
Well it was September, when you lead me astray
And by late November you kindly threw me away
Baby I might forgive you, but I rather forget
When you plead absolution, and I've only regret
How long, has this been goin' on?
You made a fool out of me
How long, has this been goin' on?
And I'll do well to remember
All the things that you've done
Before I surrender my heart to someone
