I think I could give myself up to you
  Cause you pushed your way thru my attitude
  But a taste of life on the tip of my tongue
  Won't let me forget. It just reminds me
  Of all the things I've been fed
  And all the magazines that I've read
  I'm suspicious of what you said
  
  How long can we be this way
  How long can we live this way
  Will twisted tongues bring us down
  Or the twisted world we're living in
  Or am I the one that's twisted too
  Thinking we'll make it thru
  
  Lipstick smiles bring me worries
  When I imagine you with somebody else
  That's when I know you got me twisted baby
  Oh these wicked jealousies could bring us down
  Every woman to herself
  Every man is his own
  When I'm with you the feeling's stronger
  I wonder
  
  chorus:
  How Long can we be this way
  How long can we live this way...
  
  The thought of saying I'll give you everything I got
  Seems so empty cause it's stereotype
  To protect my sanity
