Does he love me, I want to know
How can I tell if he loves me so
Is it in his eyes, oh no you'll be deceived
Is it in his eyes, oh no you'll make believe
If you want to know, if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is, oh yeah

Or is it in his face, oh no it's just his charm
In his warm embrace, oh no that's just his arm
If you want to know, if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is, oh it's in his kiss
That's where it is, oh-oh

Kiss him and squeeze him tight
And find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss

How 'bout the way he acts, oh no that's not the way
And you're not listening to all I say
If you want to know, if he loves you so
It's in his kiss, that's where it is
Oh yeah it's in his kiss, that's where it is

Oh-oh, kiss him and squeeze him tight
And find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss

How 'bout the way he acts, oh no that's not the way
And you're not listening to all I say
If you want to know, if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is, oh yeah it's in his kiss
That's where it is, oh it's in his kiss
