Kissin Time (F/blur)
Marianne Faithfull · Other Songs - Marianne Faithfull
You don't get it so well
Please tell someone, everything is gone
Dream less of me, less to guess on you
I felt so much, every tick and tussle
Heart torn because it's a kissin' time
So pass on by, you'll never find out
I love someone else, find your god, you'll find yourself
But he falls, I'm confessing to you
Just my guess, it's a kissin' time
He can't pass on you
Oh no, I see far right through you
Please understand my kissin' song
Think for yourself, it's a lesson, guess it's kissin' time
Heart torn because, parts of me, I'd sell myself
Oh, just in time, I'm assessing myself
Someone told me, keep on, hold me
Don't let go until I reach the other side
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Someone told me, keep on hold me
Don't let go until I reach the other side
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
