| Sitting here, it’s a drag
|
| But you know, I’m gonna sit right here until my man comes home
|
| Because I believe in him, and I believe in what he’s trying to do
|
| And I know that sooner or later, he’ll come walking in that door
|
| And I’m gonna be right here to greet him
|
| With a cup of coffee, and maybe a sandwich
|
| But I have faith in him
|
| And I know that he’s doing what he feels is right
|
| But you know, sometime I ask myself: Is this all in vain?
|
| My friends are walking around, they’re talking about me and saying I’m a fool
|
| And I ask myself: How long can I keep it up?
|
| It’s been days and nights since you were here to hold me
|
| I even miss the screamin', and all of those bad temper fights
|
| I’m determined to see you, just as soon as I can
|
| And even though you make me wait, you’re still my only man
|
| How long can I keep it up?
|
| How long can I keep it up?
|
| I’ll always wait for you
|
| It’s really not that hard to do
|
| But it’s truly a fact, and I can’t actually relax
|
| I wake up late at night, so scared I could hardly speak
|
| But I’ll always come through
|
| Because I know someday soon, I’ll see you
|
| How long can I keep it up?
|
| How long can I keep it up?
|
| I know a man does what he feels is right
|
| And it really means the world to me
|
| Know there’s always you
|
| To think about, to care about, and always count on, too
|
| How long can I keep it up?
|
| How long can I keep it up?
|
| You know I’d lie for you, stand up to any test
|
| And if I have to kill, I would
|
| I wouldn’t kill you, but for you
|
| And if I have to die, I’ll die
|
| As long as I die with you
|
| But I’m Mama Feelgood, and I’m gonna have some fun
|
| Even if it’s at the point of a gun
|
| How long can I keep it up?
|
| How long can I keep it up?
|
| It’s the end, but I can go happy
|
| Because I, I, I, I have one friend
|
| A friend 'til the end, a friend 'til the end
|
| You’re the love friend
|
| How long can I keep it up?
|
| How long can I keep it up?
|
| How long, how long can I keep it up?
|
| Can you tell me, how long can I keep it up?
|
| I know I’ll be there as long as you need me
|
| But I wonder how long can it last
|
| Even if it’s at the point of a gun
|
| I’m Mama Feelgood, and I’m gonna have some fun
|
| How long can I keep it up?
|
| How long can I keep it up? |
