How Long Has This Been Going On? lyrics

[Verse]
As a tot, when I trotted in little velvet panties
I was kissed by my sisters, my cousins and my aunties
Sad to tell, it was hell, an inferno worse than Dante's
So my dear I swore, "Never, never more!"
On my list, I insisted that kissing must be crossed out
Now, I find I was blind, and old lady, how I've lost out!

[Chorus 1]
I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been going on?

[Chorus 2]
There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen, sweet, I repeat
How long has this been going on?

[Bridge 1]
Oh, I feel that I could melt
Into Heaven I'm hurled!
I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
[Chorus 3]
Kiss me once then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break! For Heaven's sake!
How long has this been going on?

[Chorus 4]
Yes, I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?
Listen, you, tell me do
How long has this been going on?

[Chorus 5]
What a kick and how I buzz
Girl, you click as no one does
Hear me sweet, I repeat
How long has this been going on?

[Bridge 2]
Dear, when in your arms I creep
That divine rendezvous
Don't wake me, if I'm asleep
Let me dream that it's true, yes

[Chorus 6]
Kiss me twice, then once more
That makes it thrice, let's make it four!
What a break! For Heaven's sake!
How long has this been going on? Yes
How long has this... been going ... on?
