[Intro]
'Neath the stars
At bazaars
Often I've had to caress men
Five or ten
Dollars, then
I'd collect from all those yes-men
Don't be sad
I must add
That they meant no more than chessmen
Darling, can't you see?
'Twas for charity?
Though these lips
Have made slips
It was never really serious
Who'd have thought
I'd be brought
To a state that's so delirious?
[Verse 1]
I could cry
Salty tears
Where have I
Been all these years?
Little wow
Tell me now
How long has this been going on?
[Verse 2]
Therе were chills
Up my spine
And somе thrills
I can't define
Listen, sweet
I repeat
How long has this been going on?
[Bridge]
Oh, I feel that I could melt
Into heaven I'm hurled
I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
[Verse 3]
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?
[Verse 4]
I could cry
Salty tears
Where have I
Been all these years?
Listen, you
Tell me, do
How long has this been going on?
[Verse 5]
What a kick
How I buzz
Boy, you click
As no one does
Hear me, sweet
I repeat
How long has this been going on?
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 6]
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?
