Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How long, how long
How long, how long
Will you give yourself to another guy
And never give our love another try?
Why?
[Verse 2]
Keep runnin' that dream all over town
While you keep on kicking me to the ground
Ground
[Verse 3]
How long, how long
How long, how long
Will you keep on pushing me down the road
Thinking I'ma do what just what I'm told?
No
[Verse 4]
Pat me by just one more time
You're never gonna get this heart of mine
Mine
[Verse 5]
We've been on this dead-end road
Believe we're ready to explode
And even in our final hours
See the beauty in the dying flowers
[Verse 6]
How long, how long
How long, how long
How long, how long
How long, how long
How long, how long
How long, how long
How long, how long
