First Kiss
Louise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'cause I'm with the man that I love so much
And I never wanna be free
'cause sleeping around just ain't for me
I feel a million dollars and not a penny less
Why take the risk of a strangers kiss
When you can have the best? [Incomprehensible] it now
The joy you bring to me is clear to see
'cause from the first kiss I'll tell you this, I fell in love
And from the first touch I knew this much, Heaven above
And from the first night you held me tight in your arms it felt so right
You know you got the touch boy but don't you push your luck
When you go away
I miss the touch that I need so much
Your coming home to me
I can't get enough of your sweet body
Dinner at Mickey's, making love on Elbow Beach
I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with you
Our memories to keep [Incomprehensible] it now
I have faith in you and I hope you got it to
'cause from the first kiss I'll tell you this, I fell in love
And from the first touch I knew this much, Heaven above
And from the first night you held me tight in your arms it felt so right
You know you got the touch boy but don't you push your luck
I'm never sorry, I'll make you mine
To say goodbye to my single life
So please stay, oh stay 'cause you're all that I need
You treat me right boy, you're all naturally
I have faith in you and I hope you got it to
'cause from the first kiss I'll tell you this, I fell in love
And from the first touch I knew this much, Heaven above
And from the first night you held me tight in your arms it felt so right
You know you got the touch boy but don't you push your luck
'cause from the first kiss I'll tell you this, I fell in love
And from the first touch I knew this much, Heaven above
And from the first night you held me tight in your arms it felt so right
You know you got the touch boy but don't you push your luck
Faith, hope, love, strength, joy, fun, I thank God
You know you got the touch boy but don't you push your luck
