Lyrics:
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 I can't help but have my suspicion
cos I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
and you said he was 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.

Oh your friends with ther fancy persuasion
Don't admit it was part of their scene
But I can't help but have my suspicion
cos I ain't quiye as dumb as I seem
Oh you said you was 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
How long
