How Long Has This Been Going On? Lyrics


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 oh my!
How I lost out!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?

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
