Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
There was a time when you were mine
There was a time when you held me tight
But now you aren't around me
Boy, I wish you could find me, oh
[Chorus]
This kiss, this kiss, this kiss just
Wants you again
This kiss, this kiss, this kiss just
Loves you, my friend
[Verse 2]
Now you're gone, you left me
What's a girl do, so pressed, you see
And right when I saw the door
You walked in and I fell to the floor, yeah
[Chorus]
This kiss, this kiss, this kiss just
Wants you again
This kiss, this kiss, this kiss just
Loves you, my friend
[Post-Chorus]
Every day I wake up and you're not there, no, no
It takes too much of me, I just can't spare
So why, tell me why, why did you go away, away
This girls gonna be all alone, so come back to me, come back to me
[Interlude]
Oh, why did you go
I feel so alone
[Chorus]
This kiss, this kiss, this kiss just
Wants you again
This kiss, this kiss, this kiss just
Loves you, my friend
[Chorus]
This kiss, this kiss, this kiss just
Wants you again
This kiss, this kiss, this kiss just
Loves you, my friend
[Chorus]
This kiss, this kiss, this kiss just
Wants you again
This kiss, this kiss, this kiss just
Loves you, my friend
