Kiss and Tell
The Larkins Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hand in hand
Side by side
Day by day
Night after night
I've had one thing on my mind
I've kept you in the dark
It's time for a heart to heart
This secrets eating me alive

[Chorus]
I want to kiss and tell you
How much I love you
And I think the whole world of you
I never want to be over being under your spell

This feeling keeps getting stronger
I can't hold it inside any longer
Everybody's gonna know how hard I fell
I'm ready to kiss and tell
My pulse is pounding
My head is reeling
I can feel my nail polish peeling
There's a fire from my toes to my fingertips
Oh I could tell you with X's and O's
But the paper's just a little too cold
So pucker up baby and read my lips

[Chorus x 3]

Well I'm ready to kiss and tell
