How Long Has This Been Going On? Lyrics

[Verse]
I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been goin' on?

[Verse]
There were tears up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen, sweet, I repeat
How long has this been goin' on?

[Bridge]
Oh I feel that I could melt, into heaven, I'm hurled
I know how Columbus felt finding another world

[Verse]
Kiss me once, then once more
What a dance that was before
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been goin' on?

[Verse]
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 a long has this been goin' on?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
