How Long Has This Been Going On? (1957 Version)

(앨범: Like Someone In Love - 1957)

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 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?
