Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never felt like this until I kissed you
How did I exist until I kissed you
Never had you on my mind
Now you're there all the time
Never knew what I missed till I kissed you, uh-huh
I kissed you, oh yeah

Things have really changed just since I kissed you, uh-huh
My life's not the same now that I kissed you, oh yeah
Mm, you got a way about you
Now I can't live without you
Never knew what I missed till I kissed you, uh-huh
I kissed you, oh yeah

You don't realize what you do to me
And I didn't realize what a kiss could be
Mm, you got a way about you
Now I can't live without you
Never knew what I missed till I kissed you, uh-huh
I kissed you, oh yeah

You don't realize what you do to me
And I didn't realize what a kiss could be
Mm, you got a way about you
Now I can't live without you
Never knew what I missed till I kissed you, uh-huh
I kissed you, oh yeah





I kissed you, uh-huh
I kissed you, oh yeah
