Heavy humid night
Corner of park and main
Cast that first glance
Your smile
My veins at maximum capacity
Blood pumping so fast
My girl
If looks gave heart attacks
Dangerous men in the shadows were like an audience
And even the meanest among 'em
Had a special little shine in their eyes
When they saw us walk by
Walked about twenty blocks
Talking about good bars and better towns than this one
Kissed that first night
And the rain opened up the sky to get
One last kiss
I love you like an alcoholic
One last kiss
I love you like a statuette
One last kiss
I need you like I need a broken leg
I was getting off the late shift
Attempting to recover
Crumpled up the bus pass
And tossed it into the gutter
Some handsome dark stranger
You were standing there on the corner
You had those compelling magnetized eyes
That you must have lost when you got older
Seven blocks in
My fingers brushed your hair
I blushed, you laughed
But you seemed a little sad
I ain't one to jump a ship
But I absolutely knew
I was six steps in
When I fell into you
One last kiss
I love you like a broken pot
One last kiss
I love you like a pack of dogs
One last kiss
I need you like I need a gaping head wound
One last kiss
I love you like an alcoholic
One last kiss
I love you like a negligee
One last kiss
I need you like I need a broken leg
