How Long Has This Been Going On?

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 [Am]crossed out.
Now, I find I was [Am7]blind, and [Bm]oh my!
How I lost out!

I could cry salty tears,
Where have I been all [Em]these years?
Little wow, tell me now,
How long [Am]has this been going on?

There were chills up my [A]spine,
And some thrills I can't define.
Listen, sweet, I ɾepeat,
How long [Am]has this been going on?

Oh, I feel that I could melt,
Into [C7]Heaven I'm hurled!
I know how Columbus felt,
Finding another world.

Kiss me once, then once more.
What a dunce I was [Am7]before.
What a break!
For Heaven's sake!
How long [Am]has this been going on?

Dear, when in your arms I creep,
That divine ɾendezvous,
Don't wake me, if I'm asleep,
Let me dream that it's tɾue!

Kiss me twice, then once more.
That makes thrice, let's make it four!
What a break!
For Heaven's sake!
How long [Am]has this been going on?
How long [Am]has this, been going on?
