'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 into 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?
