Phyllis Hyman - How Long Lyrics

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]

Whatà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â's your problem
You ainà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â't getting enough from me
I ainà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â't crazy
I got the 411 you see
People talking
Telling me IÃ Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â'm living in a make believe
Huh, ho

Whatà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â's the matter
You ainà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â't man enough to face the truth
Donà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â't chit and chatter
Youà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â're out the door
Its over for you
IÃ Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â've learned my lesson
Donà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â'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 youà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â're thinking that youà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â've pulled the plug on me
IÃ Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â'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]

Ità  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â's a mere known fact
IÃ Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â'm not sweet like I used to be
I finally learned
Only I change my history
And IÃ Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â Ã Â'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 canà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â't stay
Just go away child
You got to go now
