Píseň: Sweet Kiss

Interpret:
Chris Rea
Album:
Tennis
I lie awake, late at night
I just don't seem to sleep at all
Got so high, don't I know why
Said man I got that Moon-dog call
Stepping out into the street


Gonna dance till my legs fall off
Mister policeman say ''what's wrong with you
Why you behaving this way?''
I said I'm hung on her sweet kiss


My mama told me that the day would come
So I don't need no alibi
The judge looked down with a pointed frown
And said ''boy you got to explain why''
Out on the street, late at night
Dancing like a crazy fool
Laughing and singing, what's wrong with you?
Why you behaving this way?
I said I'm hung on her sweet kiss


And all the boys they're gonna laugh
And all the girls gonna talk in class
But I don't care, there's just no way
I'm gonna let this feeling fade away
I said I'm hung on her sweet kiss
