Let Me Kiss You

Morrissey · Greatest Hits (Deluxe Version) [2008]

There's a place in the sun

for anyone who has the will to chase one

and I think I've found mine

yes, I do believe I have found mine / so

Close your eyes

and think of someone

you physically admire

and let me kiss you

let me kiss you

I've zig-zagged all over America

and I cannot find a safety haven

say would you let me cry

on your shoulder

I've heard that you'll try anything twice

Close your eyes

and think of someone

you physically admire

and let me kiss you

let me kiss you

But then you open your eyes

and you see someone

that you physically despise

but my heart is open

my heart is open to you
