Lyrics

EVERYBODY WANTS TO GET KISSED by Michael Goldman ©2004


Hey, number one, you set yourself up
Could be quite a fall
You hold on tight with all your might
And it doesn?t matter at all
You think you?re bright and you?ve got a right
To tell somebody?s wrong
Seen in quite another light
The two are really one, and
Everybody wants to get kissed
Nobody wants to get hit
Unless there?s something I missed
I guess that?s just about it

If you?ve ever been loved even by your ma
I give you ?bout half a chance
That you can keep your wit and a stiff upper lip
When you?re doin? the devil?s dance
Leaders, losers, cheaters, choosers,
All prayin? for a prize
Roll down the road, when you lighten your load
You?re in for a big surprise, you s
Everybody wants to get kissed
Nobody wants to get hit
Unless there?s something I missed
I guess that?s just about it

Don?t go away mad, just go away
You think things are bad, wait about a day
Was it something I said , hey, what?d I say, I said

Everybody wants to get kissed
Nobody wants to get hit
Unless there?s something I missed
I guess that?s just about it

I stood next to a tree
It whispered to me low
It said ,?Stand up strong, but you won?t last long
Unless you bend when the winds blow, and
Everybody wants to get kissed
Nobody wants to get hit
Unless there?s something I missed
I guess that?s just about it
