Never felt like this until I kissed you 
How did I exist until I kissed you 
Never had you on my mind 
Now you're there all the time 
Never knew what I missed until I kissed you, uh-huh 
I kissed you, oh yeah 

Things have really changed since I kissed you, uh-huh 
My life's not the same now that I kissed you, oh yeah 
Mmm, you got a way about you 
Now I can't live without you 
Never knew what I missed until I kissed you, uh-huh 
I kissed you, oh yeah 

You don't realize what you do to me 
And I didn't realize what a kiss could be 
Mmm, you got a way about you 
Now I can't live without you 
Never knew what I missed until I kissed you, uh-huh 
I kissed you, oh yeah 

You don't realize what you do to me 
And I didn't realize what a kiss could be 
Mmm, you got a way about you 
Now I can't live without you 
Never knew what I missed until I kissed you, uh-huh 
I kissed you, oh yeah

I kissed you, uh-huh 
I kissed you, oh yeah
I kissed you, uh-huh
