CHORUS :
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
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
Well you said you were never intending
To break up our scene in this way
But there ain't any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day
CHORUS
Well your friends and their gentle persuasion
Don't admit 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
Well you said you were never intending
To break up our scene in this way
But there ain't any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day
CHORUS (TO FADE)
