I could cry salty tears;
Where have I been all these years?
Little wow, tell me now:
How long has this been going on?There were chills up my spine,
And some thrills I can't define.
Listen, sweet, I repeat:
How long has this been going on?Oh, I feel that I could melt;
Into Heaven I'm hurled!
I know how Columbus felt,
Finding another world.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?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!Kiss me twice, then once more.
That makes thrice, let's make it four!
What a break! For Heaven's sake!
How long has this been going on?
How long has this... been going... on?
