I'll Kiss You
Went down to the local gypsy and I handed her the same line
"You know what I want from you, so honey, won't ya gimme number nine?"
'Cause you know lately, I ain't feelin' so great
Last time she gave me love potion number eight
And you know pretty baby, how I think you're pretty smart
But one sip from this bottle and I'll tear you all apart
The gypsy told me that the first thing that would happen, you get dizzy
Second thing you better make sure that your boyfriend isn't busy
'Cause you don't wanna eat and you won't wanna drink
You won't wanna talk and you don't wanna think
My mother used to tell me not to kiss on the first date
This time when I see you, you know I ain't gonna wait
I'll kiss you, gonna corner you and not let you go
I'll kiss you, don't tell me nothin', I don't wanna know
Twiddly-dee and twiddly-dum
I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you
Hopped into a taxi, told the driver, "Got to get me 'cross town"
Killed the bottle, started seeing double when the driver turned around
And though I was a failure with love potion number eight
Number nine was different and the hour's getting late
Now I'm standin' on the corner, everyone looks great to me
And if you come and get me, take me where I want to be
I'll kiss you, gonna corner you and not let you go
I'll kiss you, don't tell me nothin', I don't wanna know
Twiddly-dee and twiddly-dum
I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you
'Cause you know lately, I ain't feelin' so great
Last time she gave me love potion number eight
And you know pretty baby, how I think you're pretty smart
But one sip from this bottle and I'll tear you all apart
I'll kiss you, gonna corner you and not let you go
I'll kiss you, don't tell me nothin', I don't wanna know
Twiddly-dee and twiddly-dum
I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you
Oh, you know lately, I ain't feelin' so great
Last time she gave me love potion number eight
And you know pretty baby, oh, I don't wanna talk and I don't wanna think
I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you
Ah, twiddly-dee, twiddly-dum, oh yeah
I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you
Oh, I don't wanna talk and I don't wanna think
I was a failure with love potion number eight
But number nine was different and the hour's getting late
I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you
I don't wanna talk and I don't wanna sleep
I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you
"You know what I want from you, so honey, won't ya gimme number nine?"
'Cause you know lately, I ain't feelin' so great
Last time she gave me love potion number eight
