Kiss Me When You Come Home
Hanson · Shout It Out [2010]
You may give me gray hairs before my time
I'll be happy just sitting on the passenger's side
Cause I live for you and me and a lonely drive
You can stay out late.
You can burn the candle.
You can contemplate.
But won't you kiss me girl.
I will tell you straight if it's too hard to handle
All I've got to say is
Won't you kiss me when you come home.
Kiss me when you come home.
Won't you kiss me when you come home
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
On my lips
Kiss me when you come home
Won't you kiss me when you come home
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
It gets tough but we've picked up a lot of things along the way
You know that when I get mad I don't mean a word that I say
Sometimes I need more than whats left at the end of the day
You can stay out late.
You can burn the candle.
You can contemplate.
But won't you kiss me girl.
I will tell you straight if it's too hard to handle
All I've got to say is
Won't you kiss me when you come home.
Kiss me when you come home.
Won't you kiss me when you come home
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
On my lips
Sometimes reason doesn't line up with the rhyme
With the wash and a sew, the rips and the frays
We'll come out okay in time
Cause I long for you and me and a lonely drive
You can stay out late.
You can burn the candle.
You can contemplate.
But won't you kiss me girl.
I will tell you straight if you're too hard to handle
All I've got to say is
Won't you kiss me when you come home.
Kiss me when you come home.
Won't you kiss me when you come home
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
On my lips, now
Kiss me when you come home
