[Verse 1]
High anticipation, it's an emotional trap
Don't know how you do it, you're always striking the match
And I think I'm gonna burn now, but then you touch me like that
Learning to be patient, you save the best for the last
[Chorus]
Save a kiss for me tonight
Wait for me, no compromise
Promise you, it won't be long
Just save a little bit of your lovin', baby
Say you want no lips but mine
Save the thought of me tonight
Promise you, it won't be long
Just save a little bit of your lovin', baby
Save a little bit of your love
[Post-Chorus]
Save it, save it, save it
Lock it up and keep it with you, baby
[Verse 2]
That last kiss you gave me, I keep on hittin' rewind
Now I need you, baby, I need another last night
Now my heart is racing, passing all the places we've been
Counting down the minutes 'til I give you all of me
[Chorus]
Save a kiss for me tonight
Wait for me, no compromise
Promise you, it won't be long
Just save a little bit of your lovin', baby
Say you want no lips but mine
Save the thought of me tonight
Promise you, it won't be long
Just save a little bit of your lovin', baby
Save a little bit of your love
[Post-Chorus]
Save it, save it, save it
Lock it up and keep it with you, baby
Save it, save it, save it
Lock it up and keep it with you, baby
[Chorus]
Save a kiss for me tonight (Save it, save it)
Wait for me, no compromise (Lock it up and keep it)
Promise you, it won't be long
Just save a little bit of your lovin', baby
Say you want no lips but mine
Save the thought of me tonight
Promise you, it won't be long
Just save a little bit of your lovin', baby
Save a little bit of your love
[Post-Chorus]
Save it, save it, save it
Lock it up and keep it with you, baby

We just wanted it to feel as bare as po...
