[Sarah Vaughan - How Long Has This Been Going On? lyrics]
'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?
Listen you, tell me do
How long has this been goin' 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?
Listen you, tell me do
How long has this been goin' on?
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?
Listen you, tell me do
How long has this been goin' 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?
Listen you, tell me do
How long has this been goin' on?
