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
