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?
