Lyrics

I Need a Tissue

Well it all started out real simple like,
I was crying on your shoulder
?cuz my boyfriend Mike,
Well he just departed with a girl named Jessie,
I started crying,
Things got messy.

I said I need a tissue,
That?s all it took.
You leaned closer and gave me a look.
What did I say?
What did I miss?
I said I needed a tissue,
And you gave me a kiss.

CHORUS:
And now I feel dizzy,
I feel fine,
I feel a little bit queasy,
And I?m going blind
I need to kiss you,
I mean,
I need a tissue.

Well imagine my shock,
Imagine my surprise,
Instead of a hanky to wipe my eyes,
I get an unpledged,
Full fledged
Indelible kiss,
That I couldn?t seem to stop,
And I could not resist.

CHORUS:
And now I feel dizzy,
I feel fine,
I feel a little bit queasy,
And I?m going blind
I need to kiss you,
I mean,
I need a tissue.

Well I ended up staying out late that night,
I was really happy that you didn?t hear me right.
That lip lock lingered on,
Oh so long
I?m looking forward to you
Hearing me wrong.

CHORUS:
I need a tissue.
I mean,
I need to kiss you.
