Save a Kiss
Jessie Ware Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

High anticipation
It's an emotional trap
Don't know how you do it
You're always striking the match
And I think I'm gonna burn now
But then you touch me like that
Learning to be patient
You save the best for the last

Save a kiss for me tonight
Wait for me, no compromise
Promise you, it won't be long
Just save a little bit of your lovin', baby
Say you want no lips but mine
Save the thought of me tonight
Promise you, it won't be long
Just save a little bit of your lovin', baby
Save a little bit of your love

Save it, save it, save it
Lock it up and keep it with you, baby

That last kiss you gave me
I keep on hitting rewind
Now I need you baby
I need another last night
Now my heart is racing
Passing all the places we've been
Counting down the minutes
Till I give you all of me

Save a kiss for me tonight
Wait for me, no compromise
Promise you, it won't be long
Just save a little bit of your lovin', baby
Say you want no lips but mine
Save the thought of me tonight
Promise you, it won't be long
Just save a little bit of your lovin', baby
Save a little bit of your love

Save it, save it, save it
Lock it up and keep it with you, baby
Save it, save it, save it
Lock it up and keep it with you, baby

Save a kiss for me tonight
Wait for me, no compromise
Promise you, it won't be long
Just save a little bit of your lovin', baby
Say you want no lips but mine
Save the thought of me tonight
Promise you, it won't be long
Just save a little bit of your lovin', baby
Save a little bit of your love





Save it, save it, save it
Lock it up and keep it with you, baby

God Yahweh loves, and offers Salvation Only by Faith in Christ Jesus, because we sin and deserve hell, but God who is Great in Mercy sent His Son Christ to Save us, he became man and lived among men, but without sin, and suffered the punishment of our sins, was filled with the Holy Spirit, gave his Life for ours, and was raised from the dead by the Power of the Holy Spirit, by Order of his Father, paying with his death for our wickedness, giving us Salvation only by Faith, not by works so that no one can boast. Glory to Triune God, God bless you.
