As a tot, when I trotted in little velvet panties I was kissed by my brothers, 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 baby, how I've 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? I could cry salty tears Where have I been all these years? Listen you, tell me do: How long has this been going on? What a kick, what a buzz Boy, you click as no one does! Listen, sweet, I repeat How long has this been going on? Dear, when in your arms I creep, That divine rendez-vous 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? How long has this been going on?
