|
i was a knock-kneed freckle faced overshy underfed boy
|
in the summer i'll always remember
|
said i was high-strung middle-class oversexed underemployed
|
by september i was a man
|
i followed the throng
|
out to the coast and found
|
a girl who stepped out of a song
|
and my world filled with light and sound as she said to me
|
|
can i borrow a kiss that's what i heard
|
can i borrow a kiss no cost incurred
|
and i'll pay it back with interest
|
if you'll only say the word
|
can i borrow a kiss like lovers do
|
can i borrow a kiss make dreams come true
|
let me know i exist can i borrow a kiss
|
and i'll give it right back to you
|
and i'll give it right back to you
|
|
she was a dark-haired satin-skinned velvet-eyed wisp of a girl
|
with a smile that could stop you from breathing
|
she had me coming on getting off tuning in and out of this world
|
and believing love was for real
|
just like in a poem
|
she smiled that smile and then
|
i knew i would not be alone
|
and that soon all my cares would end when she said to me
|
|
can i borrow a kiss is what i heard
|
can i borrow a kiss no cost incurred
|
and i'll pay it back with interest
|
if you'll only say the word
|
can i borrow a kiss like lovers do
|
can i borrow a kiss make dreams come true
|
let me know i exist can i borrow a kiss
|
and i'll give it right back to you
|
and i'll give it right back to you
|
|
when i look back upon the time that's passed away
|
it always seems that all my dreams are yesterday
|
|
and i'll pay it back with interest
|
if you'll only say the word
|
can i borrow a kiss like lovers do
|
can i borrow a kiss make dreams come true
|
let me know i exist can i borrow a kiss
|
and i'll give it right back to you
|
and i'll give it right back to you
|
