Lyrics Jonathan Richman

Jonathan Richman

When She Kisses Me

Well, she was born in the winter

When the sun shines so pale.

Whereas I was born in the spring

In case you can't tell

In case you can't tell.

But when she kisses me

That's when the maple tree meets the honey bee.

When she kisses me

When she kisses me.

Now, they don't last long and they're not hot.

And they're not the wettest kisses I ever got.

I open my eyes and where is she? (well, she?)

She still don't know what she does to me

When she kisses me, I still react

My eyes stay closed long after the fact

When she kisses me

When she kisses me.

All right, yeah yeah

Whoa oh yeah yeah

What I say?

When she kisses me

When she kisses me.

Well, I swoon and I lean cause I can't stand erect

She thinks I'm swoonin' just for special effect.

No, I swoon and I linger, so delighted.

When she kisses me I still get so excited

After all this time

And when she kisses me, I feel ecstatic

She thinks that's just me bein' overdramatic

When she kisses me

When she kisses me.

All right, yeah yeah

Whoa oh yeah yeah

What I say?

When she kisses me

When she kisses me.
