How Long

By special request and popular demand

Never knew just what I wanted till I got some distance from you

Never knew I felt so smothered till I realized the truth

What do we say and thinks so long

To avoid a little pain

When all we really done is go along

The feeling just the same

How long am I goin' to be cryin' for him or cryin' for me?

How long is this goin' to last? Oh, how I long to make it past

How long are you willin' to sit and stew

In the same pot he's stirrin' for you?

How long, 'cause I'm ready to get on with life, now how 'bout you?

I'm ready for my escape from here

It's the challenge, confront my fears

Look the truth right in the eye

Let things go, let 'em go

My heart take flight

Lost, too alone, I'm sure, too sure to feel this pain

See, oh, I'm not hard to hurt

Yeah, lost, too alone, I'm still too sure to feel this pain

See, oh, I'm not hard to hurt

How long am I goin' to be cryin' for him or cryin' for me?

How long is this goin' to last? Oh, how I long to make it past

How long are you willin' to sit and stew

In the same pot he's stirrin' for you?

How long, 'cause I'm ready to get on with life, now how 'bout you?

(Wait a sec) How 'bout you?

(What a bam-bam)

How 'bout you?

How about you?

One day, this will all be behind me

And something new will begin

In retrospect, I feel grateful to have the ones I did

Until the day I'll keep on, music washes over me

Hear my thoughts, hear my heart

Helpin' to set my mind free

Ooh, it ain't, music washes over me, yeah

Ooh, hearin' my heart, helpin' to set my mind free

My mind free

How long am I goin' to be cryin' for him or cryin' for me?

How long is this goin' to last? Oh, how I long to make it past

How long are you willin' to sit and stew

In the same pot he's stirrin' for you?

How long, 'cause I'm ready to get on with life, now how 'bout you?

I get, oh, now, now, get, oh, now, now, oh-oh-oh

I get, oh, now, now, get, oh, now, now, oh-oh-oh

I get, oh, now, now, get, oh, now, now, oh-oh-oh

Get, oh, now, now, get, oh, now, now, ooh-ooh
