Two Timer
Kiss (1975) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She thinks she's high fashion
She thinks she looks divine
And that's what I keep tellin' her
I tell her all the time

And she tells me she likes fast cars
She says she likes mine the best
And just because of that, baby

You think she'd forget the rest, no, no, no

Just call me a three time loser
That's all I'll ever be
Cause my baby's such a two timer
You know she's two timing, she's a-two timing me

Two timer, my baby is a two timer
My baby's a two timer
My baby's a two timer
My baby, she's a-two timing me, timer
Two timer

Just call me a three time loser
That's all I'll ever be
Cause my baby's such a two timer
You know she's two timing, she's a-two timing me

Two timer, two timer
My baby's a two timer
My baby's a two timer
My baby, she's a-two timing me, two timer

My baby is a two timer
She's nothin' but a two timer
It's the truth baby, you're a two timer

My baby is a two timer
My baby is a two timer
