How Long Has This Been Going On Lyrics - Ben Webster

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! 

Photos 

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?
