[Verse 1]
My friends wonder why I call you all the time, what can I say?
I don't feel the need to give such secrets away
You think maybe I need help, though I know I'm right, alright
I'm just better off not listening to friends' advice
[Pre-Chorus]
When they insist on knowing my bliss
I tell them this
When they wanna know what the reason is
I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why
[Chorus]
Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss, your kiss I can't resist
Because your kiss is what I miss when I turn out the light
[Verse 2]
I go crazy wonderin' what there is to really see
Did the night just take up your time 'cause it means more to me
Sometimes I forget what I'm doing, I don't forget what I want, what I want
Regret what I've done, regret you? I couldn't go on
[Pre-Chorus]
But if you insist on knowing my bliss
I'll tell you this
If you want to know what the reason is
I only smile when I lie, then I'll tell you why
[Chorus]
Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss, your kiss I can't resist
Because your kiss is what I miss when I turn out the light
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
I really miss you, babe
Ahh
[Chorus]
Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
Oh, babe, because your kiss, your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss, your kiss I can't resist
Because your kiss is what I miss when I turn out the light
[Outro]
Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss, your kiss I can't resist
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
Oh-ooh, because your kiss, your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss, your kiss I can't resist
Kiss on My List was written by Janna Allen & Daryl Hall.
Kiss on My List was produced by John Oates & Daryl Hall.
Daryl Hall & John Oates released Kiss on My List on Tue Jul 29 1980.
John Oates told Creem:
People heard kiss on my lips instead of kiss on my list because they didn’t listen carefully.
Daryl Hall added:
It means that your kiss is only on the list of the best things, it’s not the only thing. Everyone thinks it’s ‘I love you and without you I would die.’ It’s exact...
