How Long Lyrics

How long, how long baby
How long has it been
How long you gonna keep me wondering
How long before you see
Stallin’ me was wrong
How long

How long, how long you gonna keep
Slappin’ my hand 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 wake up
And find your good man gone
How long

Cover art for How Long lyrics by Dire Straits

(How long before you wake up) It seems like this song's about a man wanting to be with a woman who keeps gently turning him down for one reason or another. Maybe she doesn't want to rush anything. Pretty relatable right now.
