Get away from me

How long [has this been going on]

How long

Baby 1, 2, 3

How long

How long [has the been going on, baby]

What's your problem

You ain't getting enough from me

I ain't crazy

I got the 411 you see

People talking

Telling me I'm living in a make believe

Huh, ho

What's the matter

You ain't man enough to face the truth

Don't chit and chatter

You're out the door

Its over for you

I've learned my lesson

Don't give my heart to no fool

But just for the record

CHORUS

How long

How long [has the been going on]

I wanna know

How long [you been doing me wrong]

How long [has the been going on]

How long [you been doing me wrong]

Oh

Get away from me

If you're thinking that you've pulled the plug on me

I'm the one whose singing for the world to see

I can pick and choose from an assortment of masculinity

But just for the record

How long

CHORUS

How long, oh

How long [has the been going on]

I wanna know, hey, hey

How long [you been doing me wrong]

How long [has the been going on]

How long [you been doing me wrong]

It's a mere known fact

I'm not sweet like I used to be

I finally learned

Only I change my history

And I'm giving you your walking papers, baby

Oh, hey, hey,hey

But just for the record

How long

CHORUS

How long, ooh baby [has the been going on]

Will you talk to me

How long [you been doing me wrong]

How long [has the been going on]

How long hey baby [you been doing me wrong]

Base

I need to know

Base

Can you tell me why

Base

Oh how long, long, hey, hey, hey

How long [has the been going on]

I wanna know

How long [you been doing me wrong]

How long [has the been going on]

How long [you been doing me wrong]

CHORUS

How long [has the been going on]

I wanna know right now

How long [you been doing me wrong]

How long [has the been going on]

How long [you been doing me wrong]

CHORUS

How long, baby [has the been going on]

How long [you been doing me wrong]

I need to know

How long [has the been going on]

How long [you been doing me wrong]

Too late darling

Can you tell me why

I make the rules here

And you can't stay

Just go away child

You got to go now
