Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I may say no, no, no but do it again
My lips just ache to have you take the kiss that's waiting for you
You know if you do, you won't regret it, come and get it
Ohh, no one is near
I may cry oh, oh, oh, but no one can hear
Mama may scold me because she told me it was naughty
Come and get it, you won’t regret it
Ohh, do it again
I may say no, no, no but do it again
My lips just ache to have you take the kiss that's waiting for you
You know if you do, you won't regret it, come and get it
Yes
Turn out the light and hold me close
Close in your arms all through the night
Mama may scold me cause she told me it was naughty
But then, please, do it again, just do it again
