How Long Lyrics

[00:30.83] How long has this been going on?
[00:38.86] How long has this been going on?
[00:46.35] Well, if friends with their fancy persuasion
[00:49.95] Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
[00:53.70] But I can't help but have my suspicions
[00:57.76] 'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
[01:02.10] And you said you was never intending
[01:05.79] To break up our scene this way
[01:09.16] But there ain't any use in pretending
[01:12.88] It could happen to us any day
[01:17.67] How long has this been going on?
[01:25.52] How long has this been going on?
[01:33.51]
[02:03.72] Ooh, your friends with their fancy persuasion
[02:07.67] Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
[02:11.86] But I can't help but have my suspicions
[02:15.64] 'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
[02:19.46] Oh, you said you was never intending
[02:22.71] To break up our scene this way
[02:27.06] But there ain't any use in pretending
[02:30.88] It could happen to us any day
[02:34.86] And how long has this been going on?
[02:40.40]
[02:42.96] How long has this been going on?
[02:49.83] (How long?)
[02:51.64] How long has this been going on?
[02:58.10] (How long has this?)
[03:00.78] How long has this been going on?
[03:05.54] (How long?)
[03:07.09] How long has this been going on?
[03:11.37]
