How long
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well your friends with their fancy persuasions
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
And I can't help but have my suspicion, baby
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
You said that you never intending
To break up our scene in this way
Oh, there ain't any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Well your friends with their fancy persuasions
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
I can't help but have my suspicion
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
Well you said you 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
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Yeah! Yeah!
Well your friends with their fancy persuasions
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
I can't help but have my suspicion, baby
I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
Oh, you said that you never intending
To break up our scene in this way
There ain't any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
