Can I Borrow a Kiss Lyrics

?CAN I BORROW A KISS?
by
THE KNACK
The song is played with an easy Mersey beat. The minor chord progressions are
typical of early 1960?s British pop. Can't help but think of ?Needles and Pins?
by The Searchers when I play this. Hope it works for you.
Intro (also outro)
A A2 A A4 A A2 A E (played twice)
I was a knock-kneed freckle faced over shy under fed boy
in the summer I'll always remember.
Said I was high-strung middle-class over-sexed underemployed
by September I was a man.
I followed the throng out to the coast and found
a girl who stepped out of a song
and my world filled with light and sound as she said to me
Chorus:
Can I borrow a kiss that's what I heard.
Can I borrow a kiss no cost incurred
and I'll pay it back with interest if you'll only say the word.
Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do,
Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true
Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss
and I'll give it right back to you
D A (intro sequence)
and I'll give it right back to you.
She was a dark-haired satin-skinned velvet-eyed wisp of a girl
with a smile that could stop you from breathing
She had me coming on getting off tuning in and out of this world
and believing love was for real
Just like in a poem, she smiled that smile and then
I knew I would not be alone
and that soon all my cares would end when she said to me
Can I borrow a kiss is what I heard
Can I borrow a kiss no cost incurred
and I'll pay it back with interest, if you'll only say the word
Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do
Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true
Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss
and I'll give it right back to you
and I'll give it right back to you
Bridge:
When I look back upon the time that's passed away
It always seems that all my dreams are yesterday
(instrumental)
and I'll pay it back with interest, if you'll only say the word
Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do
Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true
Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss
and I'll give it right back to you
and I'll give it right back to you
