Have you ever wanted to steal a kiss
have you ever wanted to try
but you let her get you scared to death
and got you so mad you could cry
well I'm sorry for you but I really don't know why
cause you'll never know what you're missin' till you try (till you try)
Have you ever wanted to hold her tight but you
couldn't get up the nerve
so you waited till she had to go
and got just what you deserved
did she smile at you and you never did know why
well you'll never know what you're missin' till you try (till you try)
You'll never know what you're missin' till you try (till you try)
You'll never know what you're missin' and that's no lie (that's no lie)
So you better listen to what I say if you wanna kiss her goodnight
go ahead and hold her close to you
kiss her with all your might
you better give her the word before she leaves you high and dry
cause you'll never know what you're missin' till you try (till you try)
[instrumental break]
Well you'll never know what you're missin' till you try (till you try)
You'll never know what you're missin' and that's no lie (that's no lie)
So you better listen to what I say if you wanna kiss her goodnight
go ahead and hold her close to you
kiss her with all your might
You better give her the word before she leaves you high and dry
cause you never know what you're missin' till you try (till you try)
cause you never know what you're missin' till you try (till you try)
