lena horne – how long has this been going on lyrics
‘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 dunce i was before
what a break, for heaven’s sake
how long has this been goin’ on?
(spoken)
kiss me twice, once more, thrice, make it four
what a break, for heaven’s sake
how long has this been goin’ on?
