How Long

How long
Has this been going on?
How long
Has this been going on?

Well, your friends with their fancy persuasions
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

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

How long
Has this been going on?
How long
Has this been going on?

Well, the 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

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 friens
Makes it hard for me to believe

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
