How Long

[Chorus]
How long
Has this been going on?
How long
Has this been going on?

[Verse 1]
Well, your friend with her fancy persuasion
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Tell me, how long
Has this been going on?
How long
Has this been going on?
How long
Has this been going on?

[Verse 3]
Well, a 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

[Verse 4]
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 friend
Makes it hard for me to believe

[Chorus]
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
