It started with a kiss In the back row of the classroom How could I resist The aroma of your perfume You and I were inseparable It was love at first sight You made me promise to marry you I made you promise to be my wife But you were only eight years old And I had just about turned nine (just about turned nine) I thought that life was always good I thought you always would be mine Started with a kiss Never thought it would come to this It started with a kiss I never thought it would come to this I remember every little thing Like fighting in the playground 'Cause some good looking boys Had started to hang around That boy hurt me so bad But I was happy 'cause you cried Still I couldn't help but notice That new distant look in your eyes And then when you were sixteen And I had just turned seventeen (just turned seventeen) I couldn't hold on to your love I couldn't hold on to my dream It started with a kiss I never thought it would come to this Started with a kiss Never thought it would come to this You don't remember me, do you? You don't remember me, do you? Walking down the street Came the star of my love story And my heart began to beat so fast So clear was my memory I heard my voice cry out your name And as she looked and looked away I felt so hurt, I felt so small It was all that I could say You don't remember me, do you? You don't remember me, do you? You don't remember me, do you? You don't remember me, do you? It started with a kiss Never thought it would come to this It started with a kiss, oh Never thought it would come to this
