Kiss Me
Melissa Etheridge · Lucky [2004]
I'll go anywhere that you wanna go
I'll jump into my car
Go down to that bar
Pretend I'm someone that you don't know
I'll ask you if you would like to dance
Slip myself up close to your thighs
You can buy me a drink
We'll make everyone think
That love is so damn perfect tonight
Kiss me, kiss me
Kiss everything away
Oh honey now kiss me, kiss me
Kiss me come out and play
A woman can go crazy I know
Workin' all day in and day out
We'll let off some steam
Create a scene
Nothing like a good scream and shout
Kiss me, kiss me
Kiss everything away
Oh honey now kiss me, kiss me
Kiss me come out and play
Your kiss is like medicine
A prescription to ecstasy
And your mind is my playground
Look at what I found lying next to me
Baby whatcha doing tonight
I'll be anyone you want me to be
Just a girl in a bar
Your personal superstar
I just wantcha to
Kiss me, kiss me
Kiss everything away
Oh honey now kiss me, kiss me
Kiss me come out and play
