Dire Straits - How Long Lyrics

Songwriters: Mark Knopfler

How long, how long baby, how long has it been?
How long you gonna keep me wonderin'?
How long before you see, stallin' me was wrong?
How long?

How long, how long you gonna keep slappin' my hands away?
How long you gonna keep my love at bay?
How long before you're sure, my love is strong?
How long?

How long, how long you gonna keep tellin' me you like me fine?
How long until' I'm gonna make you mine?
How long before you wake up and find your good man gone?
How long?

Gone, how long?
Gone, how long?
