Lyrics

  1. I’ve been kissed before
    Arms have held me fast
    You can tell by my kiss
    You weren’t the first
    And you won’t be the last
  2. With heart and soul I kiss them
    And file the mem’ry under “M”
    Tomorrow if I miss them
    That maybe the only time
    I think about them
  3. I’ve been kissed before
    Only fools tell when
    I was born to be kissed
    To kiss and be kissed
    And I’ll be kissed again
  4. A heart is broken nightly
    A smile that they misunderstood
    Unless you treat it lightly
    You’d better be goin’ while
    The goin’ is good
  5. Many loves have I
    You were just one more
    But some day I’ll be kissed
    And maybe I’ll doubt
    That I’ve been kissed before
    That I’ve been loved before
    On that day that I’m kissed
    I’ll even deny
    That I’ve been kissed before
