How Long Has This Been Going On?

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, lady, how I've lost out

I could cry salty tears, where have I been all these years?

Little vow, 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

Hey, how long has this been going on?

Oh, I feel that I could melt

Into Heaven, I'm hurled

I know how Columbus felt

Findin' 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?

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?

Mmm, 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?

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

Kiss me twice and then once more

That make it thrice, let's make it four

What a break, oh, for Heaven's sake

How long has this been going on?

Yes, long has, been going on?
