Lyrics
?Kiss Me in the Car?
Words by Ken Johnson

Unsuspecting me
Forgot what I could be
In the eyes of another
I start to see
If I let my guard down
I might let my love down
So I?ll just hang with you
And go as far as I can go
Until I have to go
You would?ve kissed me in the car that night
I would?ve stayed there at that bar with you all night
Though it never went that far
Maybe we just thought that it might
Intoxicating you
Your pretty lips unglued
Innocent affection
A mischievous suggestion
Is just a suggestion
Herein lies a passion
Baby that don?t hurt no one
But passion once resolved
Can be a good thing after all
But it?s nice to know?
You would?ve kissed me in the car that night
I would?ve stayed there at that bar with you all night
And though it never went that far
Maybe we just thought that it might
Though it never went that far
Maybe we just thought that it might?
