  • Alright
    Ooh, yeah

    I'll admit, I was wrong, what else can I say, girl?
    Can't you blame my head and not my heart?
    I was drunk, I was gone, that don't make it right, but
    I promise there were no feelings involved, mmh

    She said, "Boy, tell me honestly
    Was it real or just for show?", yeah
    She said, "Save your apologies
    Baby, I just gotta know"

    How long has this been goin' on?
    You been creepin' 'round on me
    While you're callin' me "baby"
    How long has this been goin' on?
    You've been actin' so shady (shady)
    I've been feelin' it lately, baby

    Ooo-oh (yeah)
    Ooo-oh (encore)
    Oooh-ooh-oh

    I'll admit (I'll admit), it's my fault (my fault), but you gotta believe me
    When I say it only happened once, mmh
    I try (I try), and I try (I try), but you'll never see that
    You're the only I wanna love, oh, yeah

    She said "Boy, tell me honestly" (honestly)
    "Was it real or just for show?", yeah (real or just for show?)
    She said, "Save your apologies" (apologies, yeah)
    "Baby, I just gotta know"

    How long has this been goin' on?
    You been creepin' 'round on me (on me)
    While you're callin' me "baby" (baby)
    How long has this been goin' on?
    You've been actin' so shady (shady)
    I've been feelin' it lately (lately), baby

    Ooo-oh (yeah)
    Ooo-oh (encore)
    Oooh-ooh-oh
    How long has it been goin' on, baby?
    Ooo-oh (yeah)
    Ooo-oh, you gotta go tell me now
    Oooh-ooh-oh

    She said, "Boy, tell me honestly
    Was it real or just for show?", yeah
    She said, "Save your apologies
    Baby, I just gotta know"

    How long has this been goin' on? (on, on)
    You been creepin' 'round on me (on me)
    While you're callin' me "baby" (baby)
    How long has this been goin' on?
    You've been actin' so shady (shady)
    I've been feelin' it lately (lately), baby

    How long has this been goin' on? (ooh-ooh, yeah)
    You've been creepin' 'round on me
    How long has it been goin' on, baby? Oh (ooo-oh)
    How long has this been goin' on? (You gotta go tell me now)
    You've been actin' so shady (shady)
    I've been feelin' it lately, baby Writer/s: Charlie Otto Jr. Puth, Jacob Kasher Kasher, Justin Scott Franks
