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      chorus
