How Long Has This Been Going On?, Song (from Rosalie, Musical) 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 going on?

There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen sweet, I 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?

Dear when in your arms I creep
That divine rendezvous
Drawn to wake me if I'm asleep
Let me dream that it's true

Kiss me twice, then once more
That makes thrice, lets make it four
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
