How Long by Brandye Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here we go again, wasting time
We could be better friends, finding love
When we both wanted to win
Won't you tell me, when will the sadness end?

[Chorus]
How long you're gonna stay mad this time?
How long you're gonna keep me tryin'?
How long you're gonna keep me cryin'?
How long you're gonna stay mad this time?
How long you're gonna keep me cryin'?
How long you're gonna keep me tryin'?
How long, baby, will you make me pay...

[Verse 2]
Well, I guess it's hard to see through anger
Don't want you fallin' out with me
'Cause it puts our love in danger
I want it the way it used to be
When it was good to you, the way it is to me
Woo-woo-woo, woo-woo-woo...
[Chorus]
How long you're gonna stay mad this time?
How long you're gonna keep me tryin'?
How long you're gonna keep me cryin'?
How long you're gonna stay mad this time?
How long you're gonna keep me tryin'?
How long you're gonna keep me tryin'?
Whoa, oh yeah, now...

How long you're gonna stay mad this time?
How long you're gonna keep me cryin'?
How long you're gonna keep me cryin'?
How long you're gonna stay mad this time?
How long you're gonna keep me tryin'?
How long you're gonna keep me tryin'?

[Verse 3]
Oh, you and I know it's not easy
Sometimes we hurt each other so, instead of pleasing
We forget, though we know, baby
That love's the reason for being together, oh yes, it is

[Chorus]
How long you're gonna stay mad this time?
How long you're gonna keep me tryin'?
How long you're gonna keep me cryin'?
How long you're gonna stay mad this time, boy?
How long you're gonna keep me cryin'?
How long you're gonna keep me tryin'?
[Outro]
How long, how long will you keep me tryin'?
How long, how long will you keep me tryin'?
How long will you keep me cryin'? (well, I know it's not easy)
How long will you keep me tryin'? (please, please, please, please)
How long will you keep me cryin'? (well, I know it's not easy)
Baby, how long will you keep me tryin'?
How long, how long will you keep me cryin'...?
