THE MANY FACES OF AC/DC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your kisses, too
I never knew what they could do
I can't believe that you're in love with me
You're telling every one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
I can't believe that you're in love with me
I have always placed you far above me
After all is said and done
To think that I am the lucky one
I can't believe that you're in love
I can't believe that you're in love
I can't believe that you're in love with me
