[Chorus]
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
[Verse 1]
Well, your friends with their fancy persuasions
Won't admit that it's part of the scheme
But I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
And you said you were never intending
To break up our scene in this way
But there ain't any use in pretending
'Cause it could happen to us any day
[Chorus]
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
[Verse 2]
All of your friends and their fancy persuasions
Won't admit that it's part of the scheme
But I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
You said you were never intending
Break up our scene in this way
But there ain't any use in pretending (Ooh, ooh)
It could happen to us any day (Ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
(How long?) Has this been going on? How long?
(How long?) Has this been going on?
(How long?) Has this been going on?
(How long?) Has this been going on?
