Lyrics The Go-Betweens

The Go-Betweens

Bachelor Kisses

Hey wait, please wait,

Don't rush off,

You won't be late.

Wait, yes, he'll wait,

The engine's running

At the gate.

Don't believe what you've heard,

"Faithful"'s not a bad word.

Oh, won't you save these Bachelor

Kisses now, they're for your brow.

Oh, won't you save these Bachelor

Kisses now, they're for your brow.

Hand, hands like hooks,

You'll get hurt

If you play with crooks.

Your hand, that's all he took,

The world opened up

For your looks.

Don't believe what you've heard,

"Faithful"'s not a bad word.

Oh, won't you save these Bachelor

Kisses now, they're for your brow.

Oh, won't you save these Bachelor

Kisses now, they're for your brow.

The arcade lights are hanging down.

The rain surrenders to the town.

The world of men don't mean a thing

When all they give you is a diamond ring.

Don't believe what you've heard,

"Faithful"'s not a bad word.

Oh, won't you save these Bachelor

Kisses now, they're for your brow.

Oh, won't you save these Bachelor

Kisses now, they're for your brow.

But don't be slave to Bachelor

Kisses now, they'll break their vow.

But don't be slave to Bachelor

Kisses now, they'll break their vow.
