lirik lagu how long has this been going on – shirley horn
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 h-ll, 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?
