The Infant Kiss - 2018 Remaster Lyrics

[00:00.74] I say "Goodnight, night"
[00:04.06] I tuck him in tight
[00:07.34] But things are not right
[00:10.38] What is this? An infant kiss
[00:13.04] That sends my body tingling?
[00:17.13] I've never fallen for
[00:20.24] A little boy before
[00:23.61] No control
[00:26.49] Just a kid and just at school
[00:29.28] Back home they'd call me dirty
[00:32.82] His little hand is on my heart
[00:35.64] He's got me where it hurts me
[00:39.13] Knock, knock, who's there in this baby?
[00:42.31] You know how to work me
[00:45.69] All my barriers are going
[00:51.81] It's starting to show
[01:00.43] Let go, let go
[01:08.67] Let go, let go
[01:14.36] Let go
[01:19.63] I cannot sit and let
[01:22.22] Something happen, I'll regret
[01:25.98] Ooh, he scares me
[01:28.90] There's a man behind those eyes
[01:31.70] I catch him when I'm bending
[01:35.43] Ooh, how he frightens me
[01:38.56] When they whisper privately (poor, stupid girl)
[01:41.76] Windy-wailey blows me
[01:44.99] Words of caress on their lips
[01:48.02] That speak of adult love
[01:51.09] I want to smack but I hold back
[01:54.19] I only want to touch
[01:57.27] But I must stay and find a way
[02:00.63] To stop before it gets too much
[02:04.23] All my barriers are going
[02:10.45] It's starting to show
[02:19.07] Let go, let go
[02:24.06] (Don't let go)
[02:27.39] Let go, let go
[02:33.88] Let go
[02:42.43]
