LOVE needs no debating,
It's "hello" or "goodbye",
Yet I'm between a kiss and a sigh.
You keep hesitating,
Can't I get some reply?
'Cause I'm between a kiss and a sigh.

Won't you explain the case,
What will I have to face,
Would I be out of place
In your arms?

I don't mind the waiting
If I only knew why,
But I'm between a kiss and a sigh!
