A Kick In The Heart

The kiss is all, words mean nothing
Why don't we throw them away
Take my keys, love is waiting
Idling in the driveway
Today everybody is thinking about happiness
As easy to read as a cloud
But down here on earth I need just that one kiss
As easy to shape as I sound
When you love me - it's a kick in the heart
When you touch me you take me apart & apart & apart
When you kiss me - it's a kick in the heart
Close your eyes, here comes tomorrow
Do you still feel the same
Tell me just one thing I can be sure of
Tell me the rules of this game
Today everybody is thinking about happiness
Easy to reach as a cloud
But down here on earth I need just that one kiss
Easy to shape as a sound
When you love me - it's a kick in the heart
When you touch me you take me apart & apart & apart
When you kiss me - it's a kick in the heart
Take my keys love is waiting
Revved up in the driveway
The kiss is all, words mean nothing
Why don't we throw them away
