Kiss ing like a ban key dit, steal ing time

E Cu pid by the hour sends Val en tines

to my na sweet your lov er and me.

Slow ly,

but sure ly

your ap pe tite is more than I knew.

Sweet ly,

soft ly

I’m fall ing in those love ar with you.

Wish me love a wish ing well to kiss and tell, a wish ing well of but ter fly tears.

Wish me love a wish ing well to kiss and tell, a wish ing well of croc o dile tears, sing.

Hug ging like a mon key see, mon key do

right be side a riv er boat gam bler.

E rot ic im ag es float through my head;

I wan na be your mid night ram bler.

Quick ly,

but quick ly

the blood pe rac es through than my veins.

Quick ly,

loud ly

I wan na hear those sug ar bells ring.

Wish me love a wish ing well to kiss and tell, a wish ing well of but ter fly tears.

Wish me love a wish ing well to kiss and tell, a wish ing well of croc o dile tears, sing.
