Lyrics

I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been goin' on girl?
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
Yes I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
Kiss me once, then once more
Yes, what a dunce I was before
But what a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been goin' on?
Oh, I feel that I could melt
Into heaven I'm hurled
Yes I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
Kiss me once, then once more
Oh baby, what a dunce I was before
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been goin' on?
Tell me, listen woman
Tell me how long
How long have you been goin' on to me?
Written by: George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin
