I could paint your picture in the sky tonight
Your lips stick on the moon in pastel light
Baby, it`s full and white
Honey, it`s full tonight

So kiss me red
Kiss me rouge
Kiss me rough
Kiss me smooth
Oh

I could paint your picture in my room tonight
Your body`s on my mind, it`s full and white
Oh, but you`re far away
And what I wouldn`t pay

To kiss you red
Kiss you rouge
Kiss you rough
Kiss you smooth
Oh

It`s black out
And I`m afraid of the dark
So I light a candle to replace your heart
What I wouldn`t give to have you here in my bed

To kiss me red
Kiss me rouge
Kiss me rough
Kiss me smooth
