"How Long" lyrics - MIKE AND THE MECHANICS

[From the CD-single "Another Cup Of Coffee (collectors edition)", 1995]

How long has this been going on
How long has this been going on

Well your friends with their fancy persuation
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
But I can't help it have my suspicion
I ain't quit as dumb as I seem

Well you say that you never intended
To break up our scene in this way
But there ain't any use pretending
It could happen to us anyday

How long has this been going on
How long has this been going on

You know you said you never intended
To break up our scene in this way
Ain't any use pretending
It could happen to us anyday

Your friends with their fancy persuation
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
I can't help it have my suspicion
Cause I ain't quit as dumb as I seem

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
