Verse 1

How long, how long babe

How long has it been

How long you gonna keep me wondering
How long before you see
Stallin' me was wrong, how long

Verse 2

How long, how long

You gonna keep slappin' my hands away

How long you gonna keep my love at bay
How long before you're sure
My long is strong, how long

You gonna keep tellin' me you like me fine

How long until I'm gonna make your mine
How long before you wake up
And find your good man gone, how long
Gone, how long
Gone, how long
