I Gave You A Kiss
What was I thinking, how could I know
What's on your mind? It just doesn"t show.
Why did I even turn around?
Our time was over and I was going home.
The sidewalk felt like broken glass,
This unsettled feeling just wouldn't pass.
I knew you were waiting for something else,
So I ran to your place drinking confidence.

And I had to hold you in my arms,
And I had so much to say.
I had to show how much your charm could be missed.
And did you truly believe that I could just walk away?
Oh, no, I couldn't so I gave you a kiss.
And were you really surprised when you opened the door?
And did you really think that I could resist
That special sound that you speak
And that smile that you hold?
Oh, no, I couldn't so I gave you a kiss.

Why did I act so unnaturally?
I cannot explain what is strange to me.
I can resist temptation,
But I just go wild when it restrains from me.

And I had to hold you in my arms...

I shouldn't have done it, I confess.
This crazy event has made such a mess.
I couldn"t decide if I should leave or stay,
I wished you "sweet dreams" and I let you rest.
But why do I want to celebrate?
This kind of happiness just ought to wait.
And so it goes, I seem to choke on my thoughts.
I've done the deed and now
I soffocate.

And I had to hold you in my arms,
And I had so much to say.
I had to show how much your charm could be missed.
And did you truly believe that I could just walk away?
Oh, no, I couldn't so I gave you a kiss.
And were you really surprised when you opened the door?
And did you really think that I could resist
That special sound that you speak
And that smile that you hold?
Oh, no, I couldn't so I gave you a kiss.
