How Long Has This Been Going On?

How Long Has This Been Going On? - Sarah Vaughan

As a tot when i trotted in little velvet panties

I was kissed by my sisters my cousins and my anties

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 clombus 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
