How Long Has This Been Going On? - Susannah McCorkle

'Neath the stars, at bazaars

Often I've had to caress men

Five or ten, dollars then

I'd collect from all those yes-men

Don't be sad, I must add

That they meant no more than chess-men

Darling, can't you see?

'Twas for charity?

Though these lips have made slips

It was never really serious

Who'd have thought

I'd be brought to a state that's so delirious?

I could cry salty tears

Where have I been all these years?

Little wow, tell me now

How long has this been goin' on?

There were chills up my spine

And some thrills I can't define

Listen sweet, I repeat

How long has this been goin' 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 dance I was before

What a break, for heaven's sake

How long has this been goin' on?

What a kick how I buys

Why you could as nobody does

Hear me swing I'm pear

How long has this been goin' on?

Dear wedding your arms

I qreep that devive rounder verm

Don't wet gree is a mass lip

Let me dream that it's true

Kiss me twice then once more

That makes thrice let's try it four

What a break for heaven's sake

How long has this been goin' on?

How long has this been goin' on?
