Stan Getz - 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?
