How Long Lyrics

We think that we're clever
Sneakin’ off together
For a smoke
But I gave up years ago

We think they don't notice
When the bar starts closin'
I offer you a ride
We live on different sides

Of the city
When you’re near me
I got a one-track mind, all that I'm thinkin'

Is how long
How long 'til you kiss me? (Sha-la, la-la-la)
I wanna know (Sha-la, la-la-la)
How come
I don't even drink, but I'm tipsy (Sha-la, la-la-la)
And it kills me how (Sha-la, la-la-la)
We're livin' it up, playin’ it down
Whenever our friends come around
We keep our hands to ourselves
Tell me, how long
How long ’til I can call you (Sha-la, la-la-la)
Baby? (Sha-la, la-la-la)

If I had it my way
You'd stay ’til Sunday
We'd leave the world alone
Take it slow and if the phone rings

We'd just let it
They'll get the message
For now, darlin’, don't keep me waitin'

How long
How long 'til you kiss me? (Sha-la, la-la-la)
I wanna know (Sha-la, la-la-la)
How come
I don't even drink, but I'm tipsy (Sha-la, la-la-la)
And it kills me how (Sha-la, la-la-la)
We're livin' it up, playin' it down
Whenever our friends come around
We keep our hands to ourselves (Ooh)
Tell me, how long
How long 'til I can call you baby? (Sha-la, la-la-la)
How long?

Mm
Oh, no

Tell me, how long
How long 'til you kiss me? (Sha-la, la-la-la)
I wanna know (Sha-la, la-la-la)
How come
I don't even drink, but I'm tipsy (Sha-la, la-la-la)
How long? (Sha-la, la-la-la)

Oh
Oh, how long?
Mm, baby, tell me how long
Oh, oh
How long?
