Kissing With Confidence
Will Powers Lyrics

You may be a sharp dresser,
Your appearance might be impressive.

You may be a fantastic dancer,
Your moves might be fascinating.

You may be a lively conversationalist,
Your communication might be pulsating.

But what happens at the end of the evening when the time comes to show how you feel?
At the end of the day, it all reveals when the time for the real action comes.

Unless you can kiss with confidence all your fancy dressing, dancing and talking won't get you a second date.
Your impressive appearance, moves, and communication will not help if you lack the confidence to kiss.

I'd meet a boy I really liked
She met someone she found attractive.

I'd start to win his heart
She began to impress him and win his affection.

Come the time to kiss good-night
When it was time to part ways, and kiss before leaving each other.

I always fell apart
She lost her cool and became nervous.

I'd giggle like I had no brains
She laughed nervously.

Or else I'd start to cough
She began to cough, maybe due to nervousness.

I thought my perspiration stains
She feared that her sweat marks might be embarrassing or unattractive.

Would turn a fellow off
She worried that it might make her less appealing to the person she liked.

She was nervous
She was anxious and afraid.

She was too shy
She was not confident and was timid.

She was breathless
Her breathing was labored due to anxiety or excitement.

Lips were too dry
Her lips were dry, possibly due to nervousness.

Hands were shaking
Her hands were shaking due to nervousness.

Didn't know why
She was unsure of what made her nervous.

I put an end to worrying, I learned the way from Will
Worrying stopped for me, and I got the method from Will.

He showed me kissing with confidence is an acquired skill
Will made me realize that kissing confidently is not innate, but a skill to be learned.

When my boyfriends get too hot I can cool 'em down
If a partner gets overwhelmed, I can help calm them down

Now I'm kissing with confidence everywhere in town
I'm now confident enough to kiss my partner wherever we go.

In the schoolyard
In the school playground.

At the front door
At the entrance door.

In the laundromat

At the drug store
At the pharmacy.

At the car wash
At the carwash.

In the back seat
In the back seat of a car.

At the Dairy Queen
At the fast-food restaurant chain

On a side street
On a smaller road, not the main one.

In the basement
In the subterranean area of a home.

On the rooftop
On the top of a building.

At the drive-in
At the outdoor movie or theater screen.

At the stop and shop
At a roadside shop.

On the back porch
On the rear end of the house.

At the candy store
At the store that sells candy, sweets, and confectionary.

On the boardwalk
On the wooden walkway along the beach.

By the seashore
On the beach, next to the sea.

In the balcony
At the open upper story of a theater or auditorium.

At the malt shop
At the shop that sells malt-based shakes and treats.

In the parking lot
In the lot for parking vehicles.

On the blacktop
On the asphalt road.

Once you can kiss with confidence, think of others these techniques will help.
