Lyrics

NOT JUST A KISS 
 
Sometimes, we take love for granted; 
Don’t water those seeds we’ve planted. 
We go for days without a touch; 
Don’t think about it all that much. 
 
We notice love’s flower drooping, 
So, we do a little snooping. 
Maybe our lover’s been untrue; 
Maybe love’s been lying to you. 
 
Look for a cause, 
Look for a cure. 
Put life on pause 
Until you’re sure. 
Oh, there’s something 
That you can do, 
Something that can bring 
Love back to you. 
 
Take some time to learn 
It’s not just a kiss, 
It’s the key that turns 
The lock of pure bliss. 
If you want love to burn, 
You must remember this: 
It’s not just a kiss. 
It’s not just a kiss. 
 
Now, you find your love is growing, 
And you find new ways of showing 
How very much you really care, 
How much you need love everywhere. 
 
A little note, a little hug, 
Some little treat for that love bug. 
Not gonna take love for granted; 
Gonna water those seeds you’ve planted. 
 
You found the cause, 
You found the cure. 
No need to pause 
Now that you’re sure. 
Now there’s something 
That you can do, 
Something that can bring 
Love back to you. 
 
You took the time to learn 
It’s not just a kiss, 
It’s the key that turns 
The lock of pure bliss. 
Now that your love burns, 
You must remember this: 
It’s not just a kiss. 
It’s not just a kiss.
