Stealing Kisses

It's late enough all you kids should be home

The policeman says as he takes your beer for his own

You remember wondering what his wife

Thought about his occupation

He knows that you were just chasing a dream

To the town line and then back and over again

So he winks at you girls

And he tells you all he'll see you later

I was stealing kisses from a boy

Now I'm begging affection from a man

In my housedress don't you know who I am

Don't you know who I am

Standing in your kitchen

It's late enough your husband's dinner is cold

So you wrap it up and leave it for him on the stove

It's probably the traffic again

Or another important meeting

And you haven't talked to one adult all day

Except your neighbor who drives you crazy

When he finally gets in he's sure

Not in the mood for talking

And hours become days, and days become years

And you could burn down this town

If they made matches from fear

But you're no worse off than anybody else

Hey don't you even know

Don't you even know yourself

So you're standing outside the high school doors

The ones you walked out of twenty years before

And you whisper to all of the girls, run, run, run

I was stealing kisses from a boy

Now I'm begging affection from a man

In my housedress don't you know who I am

Don't you know who I am

Take a look at who I am

Take a look at who I am

I'm stealing kisses

Stealing kisses
