Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?
Little while, tell me now
How long has this been going on?
[Verse 2]
There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen, sweet, I repeat
How long has this been going on?
[Verse 3]
Oh, I feel that I could melt
Into Heaven I'm hurled
I know how Columbus felt
Findin' another world
[Verse 4]
Oh, kiss me once, then once more
Yeah, what a dunce I was before
What a break, for Heaven's sake
How long has this been going on?
[Verse 5]
How long has this been going on?
[Verse 6]
Oh, I feel that I could melt
Into Heaven I'm hurled
Yeah, and I know how Columbus felt
Findin' another world
[Verse 7]
Oh, kiss me twice, then once more
That makes thrice, let's make it four, yeah
What a break, for Heaven's sake
How long has this been going on?
Lord, how long has this been going on?
[Verse 8]
Won't you tell me, baby?
'Cause I've gotta know
Don't ask me why
'Cause you tell me, tell me so
[Verse 9]
Hear me now, I'm pleadin' on my knees
How long has this been going on? Yeah
How long? How long?
How long has this been going on?
