THE KISSING GAME
(Phillips / Vance)

Dion - 1960


Every kiss I ever kissed you
Darlin', came from my heart
But your love was just a play
And the things I heard you say were all a part....

Of the kissin' game
The kissin' game
Yeah, the game, Baby
Where you just played at love

Oh, you never really loved me
Though you kissed me each night
You were lookin' for some fun
And I guess just anyone to hold you tight

In the kissin' game
Umm, the kissin' game
Get out of the game, Baby
Where you just played at love

Don't you know you shouldn't go with some guy
Just because he looks good to the crowd
Use his love for a steppin' stone
Baby, don't feel proud

Because some day you're gonna cry
When you meet someone who
Will pour water on your flame
And play the kissin' game, umm, with you

Don't you know you shouldn't go with someone
Just because he looks good to the crowd
Use his love for a steppin' stone
Baby, now don't you feel proud

(Instrumental Break)

He'll pour water on your flame
And play the kissin' game with you

Will pour water on your flame
And play the kissin' game with you

Ah, that kissin' game
The kissin' game
Ah, that kissin' game
That Kissin' game
Ah, that kissin' game
Oh, that kissin' game
That kissin'..........FADE
