How Long Can I Keep It Up |
| 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? |
