How Long Has This Been Going On
Harry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was kissed by my sisters, my cousins, and my aunties.
Sad to tell, it was hell, an inferno worse than Dante's.
So my dear I swore,
"Never, never more !"
On my list, I insisted that kissing must be crossed out.
Now, I find I was blind, and oh my! How I lost out!
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, I repeat,
How long has this been going on?
Oh, I feel that I could melt,
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?
Dear, when in your arms I creep,
That divine rendezvous,
Don't wake me, if I'm asleep,
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 long has this been going on?
How long has this, been going on?
The lyrics of Harry's song "How Long Has This Been Going On?" seem to be telling the story of a person who has lived a sheltered life until recently, and is now discovering the joys of love and physical affection. The first verse talks about how, as a child, the person was kissed by their sisters, cousins, and aunties, but found it unpleasant and vowed to never kiss anyone again. However, they now realize that they were wrong and have missed out on something wonderful. In the second verse, the person describes the physical sensations they feel when they are kissed, saying that it feels like they are being transported to heaven.
The chorus is repeated several times throughout the song, asking the question "How long has this been going on?" This could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be a rhetorical question, emphasizing the person's surprise at how long they have been missing out on love and affection. Alternatively, it could be a literal question, asking their partner how long they have been in love or how long they have been harboring feelings for each other. Either way, the song seems to be celebrating the discovery of love and physical intimacy after a period of ignorance or denial.
