Lyrics:
“You Shouldn’t Kiss Me Like This”
I’ve got a funny feeling
The moment that your lips touched mine
Something shot right through me
My heart skipped a beat in timeThere’s a different feel about you tonight
It’s got me thinkin’ lots of crazy things
I even think I saw a flash of light
It felt like electricityYou shouldn’t kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I’ll just close my eyes
And I won’t know where I’m at
We’ll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin’ around
And around
And around
And aroundThey’re all watchin’ us now
They think we’re falling in love
They’d never believe we’re just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me againEverybody swears we make the perfect pair
But dancing is as far as it goes
Girl you’ve never moved me quite
The way you moved me tonight
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to knowYou shouldn’t kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I’ll just close my eyes
And I won’t know where I’m at
We’ll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin’ around
And around
And around
And aroundThey’re all watchin’ us now
They think we’re falling in love
They’d never believe we’re just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again
Kiss me again
