One Last Kiss
Billy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One last kiss, woh-woh-woh, one last kiss

Oh, one last kiss, oh baby, one last kiss
It never felt like this, oh baby, not like this
You know I need your love, oh-oh-oh
Give me one last ki-iss
One last kiss
Oh, one more time, oh baby, one more time
You make me feel sublime, oh baby, you're so fine
You know I need your love, oh-oh-oh
Give me one last ki-iss
One last kiss

Woh-woh-woh
Darling it isn't right
Why must we say goodnight
Don't let me go like thi-is
Baby I need you so
But if I have to go
Just give me one last ki-iss

Oh, one last kiss, oh baby, one last kiss
It never felt like this, oh baby, not like this
You know I need your love, oh-oh-oh
Give me one last ki-iss

Darling it isn't right
Why must we say goodnight
Don't let me go like thi-is
Baby I need you so
But if I have to go
Just give me one last ki-iss

Oh, one last kiss, oh baby, one last kiss
It never felt like this, oh baby, not like this
You know I need your love, oh-oh-oh




Give me one last ki-iss
(One last kiss - one last kiss - one last kiss) [fade]
