Meaningless Kiss [Hugh Grant]

Music and Lyrics Soundtrack · Music and Lyrics [Soundtrack] [2007]

I saw you across the dancefloor

Out of the corner of my eye

I felt the connection

I don't know how, I don't know why

I shouldn't of stayed

When I saw you there with another man

But as we slipped away

I thought I heard you say

This wasn't part of the plan



CHORUS:

Just a meaningless kiss

It wasn't suppose to end up like this

Just a meaningless kiss

Ohh Ohh

Just a meaningless kiss

We knew it was wrong

But we couldn't resist

Just a meaningless kiss

Til I fell in love

With you



But you didn't want me to

Oh no



And here we are two years later

Too late to turn back now

We gotta finish what we shouldn't have started

We got to walk away somehow

But it's easier said than done

When two hearts beat as one

And three hearts are one too many

That's why we shouldn't have ever begun



CHORUS:

Just a meaningless kiss

It wasn't suppose to end up like this

Just a meaningless kiss

Oh oh

Just a meaningless kiss

We knew it was wrong but we couldn't resist

Just a meaningless kiss

Til I fell in love

With you



We can't go on like this forever

When we're not meant to be together

So leave me here on my own

From now on I guess I got to dance alone



CHORUS:

Just a meaningless kiss

It wasn't suppose to end up like this

Just a meaningless kiss

Oh oh

Just a meaningless kiss

We knew it was wrong but we couldn't resist

Just a meaningless kiss

But I'm still in love

With you



No matter what I do
