WAITIN' ON A KISS, words & music by Jeff Winter, copyright


?Well let me tell you how it looks to me,? I said as I stared out in the thinning air and tried to catch my breath I said, ?I love you and you might guess the rest.? But she said, ?Guesses have a funny way of not being so funny.?

I?m her captive, her prison guard, executioner and her hero. I?m a messenger with the good news she don?t want to hear I?m a derailment on the main line with a ticket for a kiss Forgive me, I never knew that it could be like this

Now when I was a young man my daddy used to say that the arms of a woman was a wicked place to lay, I said, but what about Miss Mary with her hair of golden blonde He said, here?s a twenty dollar bill kid...now don?t tell your mom

That I?m her captive, her prison guard, executioner and her hero I?m a messenger with the good news she don?t want to hear Shoulda listened to my daddy but I never got the gist forgive me, I never knew it could be like this.

Well right by now I kinda figured that I might be on a roll, So I leaned in with an uppercut that poured from out my soul I said I?d marry her in a blink of an eye She said, all you blinkers of the world are half blind to realize

That I?m her captive, her prison guard, executioner and her hero I?m a messenger with the good news she don?t want to hear And I?m runnin like a tourist for a boat I?m gonna miss Forgive me, I never knew it could be like this .
