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 lady how I've lost out
I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years
Little vow, 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, my 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
Yes, 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 and how I buzz
Girl, you click as no one does
Hear me sweet, I repeat
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 make it thrice, let's make it four
What a break, oh for heaven's sake
How long has this been going on
Yes, long has this been going on
