hmm ... after the line "What a break, for heaven's sake / how long has this been going on?" it goes into another verse:
I could cry salty tears
where have I been all these years
listen, you. tell me, do:
how long has this been going on
what a kick! how I buzz!
boy you click like no one does
listen sweet, I repeat
how long has this been going on?
oh, 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

anyhow. this is one of gershwin's finest songs, and ella does it fantastically. I sang it at a concert once, and because I'm just a silly girl, I pointed at my boyfriend in the audience as I sang the line "Boy you click like no one does" ... and boy did HE turn about 75 shades of red. :)
