“This Kiss”

By Carly Rae Jepsen

I went out last night
I’m going out tonight again
Anything to capture your attention
And she’s a real sweet girl
And you know I got a boy
Details we both forgot to mention

And you, I always know where you are
And you always know where I am
We’re taking it way too far
But I don’t want it to end

Chorus

This kiss is something I can’t resist
Your lips are undeniable
This kiss is something I can’t risk
Your heart is unreliable
Something so sentimental
You make so detrimental
And I wish it didn’t feel like this
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss this kiss
I don’t wanna miss this kiss

You know you’re just my type
And your eyes are lock and key to my heart
Tempting my confession
And you’re a real hot thing
But you know I’ve got a boy somewhere
So can you feel the tension

And you, I’m dancing to where you are
And your dancing to where I am
We’re taking it way too far
But I don’t want it to end

(Chorus)

But if you ask me to
I couldn’t or couldn’t I
You’re leaning closer and
I shouldn’t or shouldn’t I
But if you ask me to
I couldn’t or couldn’t I
I shouldn’t or shouldn’t I
I don’t wanna miss this kiss

(Chorus)
