Lyrics

[Verse 1]

How long has this been goin' on?

How long has this been goin' on?

[Verse 2]

Well, your friends with their fancy persuasion

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

But I can't help but have my suspicion

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

[Verse 3]

And you said you was never intendin'

To break up our scene in this way

But there ain't any use in pretendin'

It could happen to us any day

[Verse 4]

How long has this been goin' on?

How long has this been goin' on?

[Verse 5]

Oh, your friends with their fancy persuasion

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

But I can't help but have my suspicion

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

[Verse 6]

Oh, you said you was never intendin'

Mmm, to break up our scene this way

But there ain't any use in pretendin'

It could happen to us any day

[Verse 7]

And how long has this been goin' on?

How long has this been goin' on?

How long?

How long has this been goin' on?

How long has this?

(How long, goin' on?)

How long has this been goin' on?

How long?

How long has this been goin' on?

How long has this been goin' on?
