How long, baby how long Do you think I'll let you do me wrong? How long, how long, baby how long If you don't want me baby Why don't you tell me so I know you love someone else baby And you can go For so long, so long, baby so long And I will tell you And tell you to your face That when you're gone baby Someone else will take your place For so long, so long, baby so long No I ain't going to cry Ain't going to waste no tears For if you go away baby I hope you stay a thousand years For that long, yes that long, baby that long You are a dirty mistreater And you ain't no good And I wouldn't drive you back again Even if it was good For how long, how long, baby how long Don't start that jive baby Just you leave me alone Or you'll be setting up daisies Round some cold headstone For so long, so long, baby so long So go on baby And just let me be If I never see you anymore That will be too soon for me For so long, so long, baby so long
