That Kiss (Acoustic / Remastered 2022)
[Verse 1]
The way that you looked at him
And then you looked at me
You must think that I'm proper blind
Proper blind not to see
That I was just a stopgap
Sitting somewhere in between his hand and his lap
Let me tell you that I wasn't born yesterday, my dear

[Chorus]
That kiss, it lasted too long
And we probably shouldn't have danced to that song
It was nothing, it was everything
It's really such a shame it's so hard to explain to you

[Verse 2]
He's back in town tonight
He's expecting you 'round a quarter to nine
But you won't be there
'Cause he bores the proverbials off you
If he only knew what you thought
The lust, the lack of trust and temptation you fought
He is worthless, the maxims he flouts
And he's just a passing fashion and he's on his way out

[Chorus]
That kiss, it lasted too long
And we probably shouldn't have danced to that song
It meant nothing, it meant everything
It's really such a shame it's so hard to explain to you
[Bridge]
I know that I shouldn't, but I enjoyed it
I know that I shouldn't, but I enjoyed it
I know that I shouldn't, but I enjoyed it
I know that I shouldn't, but I enjoyed it
I know that I shouldn't, but I enjoyed it
I know that I shouldn't, but I enjoyed it

[Chorus]
That kiss, it lasted too long
And we probably shouldn't have danced to that song
It was nothing, it was absolutely everything
It's really such a shame it's so hard to explain to you

[Outro]
That kiss, that girl, that place that you go
Where is she now? You don't even know
