Lyrics How Long Has This Been Going On? (Live) - Carmen McRae

Neath the stars, at bazaars
Often I′ve had to caress men
Don't be sad, I must add, that they meant no more than chess-men
Chess-men, chess-men, chess-men

How long has this been goin′ on?

I could cry salty tears
Goin' on
How long has this been goin' on?

Did, when, in your arms, I creep
That divine rendez-vous
Kiss me once, kiss me twice
Then once more, that make′s thrice, camone let′s make it four

How long has this been goin' on?
