Steal A Kiss
Steel Pulse · Other Songs - Steel Pulse
Oh I've been watching you
From my bedroom window
Your bodyline rocking
Cool and mellow
You wouldn't glance my way
To give the time of day
For the bud of love to flourish
And what I feel inside
To be right by your side
A moment I would cherish
CHORUS
You don't know I exist
It's a love I can't resist
If I had my wish
I would steal a kiss from you
Oh yes I've tried to attract your attention
And knocked your door
And posed as the mail man
And I would send to you
The words of 'I love you'
Love letter from a mystery lover
Anonymous phone calls too
Just to talk to you
Would give me chills all over Arrgh!
CHORUS
You don't know I exist
It's a love I can't resist
If I had my wish
I would steal a kiss from
It's a love I can't resist no
If I had my wish
I would steal a kiss from you
Tossing and turning in my bed
Blood pressure rising to my head
Pains of love flows within my soul
I just wanna hold you
And get to know you now
You attract me like a magnet
I've been watching you
From my bedroom window
Your bodyline rocking cool and mellow
Fantasy is where I want to go
Let's plant the seed of love and let it grow
How long I love to keep you satisfied
My feeling for you no more can I hide
CHORUS
You don't know I exist
It's a love I can't resist
If I had my wish
I would steal a kiss from you
From my bedroom window
Your bodyline rocking
Cool and mellow
You wouldn't glance my way
To give the time of day
For the bud of love to flourish
And what I feel inside
To be right by your side
A moment I would cherish
CHORUS
You don't know I exist
It's a love I can't resist
If I had my wish
I would steal a kiss from you
Oh yes I've tried to attract your attention
And knocked your door
And posed as the mail man
And I would send to you
The words of 'I love you'
Love letter from a mystery lover
Anonymous phone calls too
Just to talk to you
Would give me chills all over Arrgh!
CHORUS
You don't know I exist
It's a love I can't resist
If I had my wish
I would steal a kiss from
It's a love I can't resist no
If I had my wish
I would steal a kiss from you
Tossing and turning in my bed
Blood pressure rising to my head
Pains of love flows within my soul
I just wanna hold you
And get to know you now
You attract me like a magnet
I've been watching you
From my bedroom window
Your bodyline rocking cool and mellow
Fantasy is where I want to go
Let's plant the seed of love and let it grow
How long I love to keep you satisfied
My feeling for you no more can I hide
CHORUS
You don't know I exist
It's a love I can't resist
If I had my wish
I would steal a kiss from you
