Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a friendly kiss
And though I'm not the surest kind
I'm kinda sure of this
Sooner or later you're gonna be comin' around, I'll betcha
I'll betcha that I getcha, you wait and see
I'll betcha if I letcha, you'll baby me
You're gonna knock on my door (knock knock)
You did it before (knock knock)
Matter o'factly I don't know exactly when
But sooner or later you're gonna be comin' around
And want my lovin' again
