Why is it take so long,
Can't wait to have you, dear
Cause your love is so strong
I need you with me here!
Because just a little love, goes so long, yeah
It will have you smiling just because
Even when everything is wrong,
I got you standing right here, I know it feels good

[Chorus]
But don't kiss me, no, no, no, don't you kiss me
Unless those lips that you kiss me with
Will say I love you, love you for life!
And don't touch me, no, no, don't you touch me (you betta not do it baby)
Unless you promise that those hands
Will never wave goodbye!
Can you do that for me baby?

Promise me that tonight when I hold you in my arms
Lord knows it feels so sincere
And your fragrance turns me on
Can't believe that I am gone when you're near!
Because just a little love goes so long (yeah)
It'll have you smiling just because (smiling just because)
Even when everything's wrong,
Now I got you standing right here
I know it feels good!

[Chorus]
But don't kiss me, no, no, no, don't you kiss me
Unless those lips you kiss me with
Will say I love you, love you, for life! (I love you for life)

Don't wrap your love, the arms around me,
Don't kiss my lips unless you love me, baby!
Don't hold my hand unless I'm your man
I wanna hear it baby, can you? (I know your ready)

[Chorus]
Don't kiss me, yeah, no, baby don't you kiss me
Unless those lips of yours, lips of yours
Will say I love you, love you for life! (for life)
Oh, oh, don't touch me, oh, no, no, don't you touch me yeah
Unless you promise that those hands
Will never wave goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Promise that tonight
