I was a knock-kneed freckle faced over shy under fed boy

 in the summer I'll always remember.

 Said I was high-strung middle-class over-sexed underemployed

 by September I was a man.

 I followed the throng out to the coast and found

 a girl who stepped out of a song

 and my world filled with light and sound as she said to me

Chorus

 Can I borrow a kiss that's what I heard.

 Can I borrow a kiss no cost incurred

 and I'll pay it back with interest if you'll only say the word.

 Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do,

 Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true

 Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss

 and I'll give it right back to you

 and I'll give it right back to you.

 I knew I would not be alone

 and that soon all my cares would end when she said to me

 Can I borrow a kiss is what I heard

 Can I borrow a kiss no cost incurred

 and I'll pay it back with interest, if you'll only say the word

 Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do

 Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true

 Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss

 and I'll give it right back to you

(---)

and I'll give it right back to you

Bridge

When I look back upon the time that's passed away

It always seems that all my dreams are yesterday

(instrumental)

 and I'll pay it back with interest, if you'll only say the word

 Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do

 Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true

 Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss

 and I'll give it right back to you

 and I'll give it right back to you
