How Long Has This Been Going On? Lyrics

Edit 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 my! How I lost out!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,Don't wake me, if I'm asleep,Let me dream that it's true!Kiss me twice, then once more.That makes thrice, let's make it four!What a break! For Heaven's sake!How long has this been going on?How long has this, been going on? New!

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 my! How I lost out! 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.

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
