It's Time To Kiss
Fred Schneider Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll kiss you if you kiss me ... right now

I've known you now for many years
We're together every day
Sharing thought, sharing lives, saying all there is to say
Time to get down on the bearskin rug in front of my fireplace
Time to open a bottle of bubbly, time to come face to face
It's time to kiss

It's time to kiss
It's time to kiss
It's time for mouths to get together, time for lips to meet
Time to torch the flame of love and generate some heat
Time for me to say, "Heyyy, let's neck!"
Time for you to say to me, "Aaaa, what the heck!"
It's time to kiss!
It's time to kiss
It's time to kiss
It's time to kiss
Oooo, I feel a smooch coming on!

This is the point, the turning point
Around which love revolves
We turn the key, we wind the tight
Let the barriers dissolve, it's time to kiss!
Kiss!
There comes a time in everybody's life when decisions must be made
Fever flares into a fire when desire ignites the brain
So come on now, there's plenty of space
On that rug by my fireplace!
Plenty of bubby, plenty of time
Time to come face to face, it's time to kiss!
My lips wanne need your lips
And my lips wanna meet your lips! So smooch! Smooch! Smooch!

It's time! It's time! It's time!
Oh, it's time to kiss!
