Story Behind The Song
I wrote it one day in my apartment.
Song Description
A raucous rave-up in triple time about a guy who's mad at his girl for dumping him. It seems that there was another girl who was hitting on him even though he was refusing her advances. But then she grabs his face and gives him a big wet kiss just as his girlfriend walks in. (Classic sitcom material) So his girlfriend's pissed and he's trying to reason with her. The twist is that he really DID want to get it on with that other chick.

Lyrics
Get out she says
You?re not welcome here anymore
Why not I ask
As she drags me by my hair out the door
You know she says
Everything you?ve done and everything you will
Oh how can you say this
You don?t know what?s to come and worse still
You weren?t there when I turned her away
You walked in and just then
You stood and stared as she grabbed my face
and gave me the kiss that you?ll never forget
Your eyes don?t lie she says
They contradict your lips as they move
They blink in time she says
To my trembling hand reaching, reaching for you
I search her face for signs
That maybe she don?t believe her own words
Oh how can she think this
I tell her again what she?s already heard
You weren?t there when I turned her away
You walked in and just then
You stood and stared as she grabbed my face
and gave me the kiss that you?ll never forget
She knows my words are as good as proof but she still has reason to be sad
Cuz she can she the deeper truth - I really wanted that girl, I wanted her bad
Go take a bath I say
You?ve got to a grip on what?s going on
You fear my wrath she says
She sounds almost sarcastic but a little too strong
I say, ?Girl, you know I ain?t lyin??
She says, ?I know? then gives me a look that cuts me to the core
She asks what?ll happen the next time
So I tell her once more what I said twice before
You weren?t there when I turned her away
You walked in and just then
You stood and stared as she grabbed my face
and gave me the kiss that you?ll never forget
She gave me that kiss
And you'll never forget how she grabbed my face...
