lyrics

I kissed you twice before I could tell you voice from your sister’s
I shouted, “Oh-wee-oh,” as day became night
and flicked on the light to find my watch had stopped,

stopped at the exact coordinates of our first communiqué, soiree
Get away, inhibition, my mouth is dishin’ you compliments
so appropriate I can’t believe my ears – my tongue don’t slip

The membranes of the lip have very sensitive stretch receptors
so now we know we’re not bent scepters
and you will always think of me this year – never fear, dear, I’m here

Please do your damndest to make it this year
Dear G_d, give us more days like these
as your smile guides me to the aisle
We’re so happy, so beguiled our hearts have gone away to needy recipients, so
make like a helpful pupil, pass the pencil

I kissed you twice before I could tell you voice from your sister’s
Never dismissed or dissed, still I reminisce:
sitting on the edge of your bed and playing Twister

I lost you before I could tell you how much you gave me
