How Long Has This Been Going On?

`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, oh I repeat How long has this been going on? Oh, I feel that I could melt As 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?
