Lyrics
- 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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
