A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste
Jim Steinman

If you listen to the night

You can hear the darkness call

I can barely stand the wait

I can barely stand at all

Come on closer to me now

Like we're sharing the same skin

We've gotta get out of this jail

We've gotta let the future in



So many things in your life that you're bound to regret:

Why didn't I do that?

Why didn't I do this?

So many chances you've lost that you'll never forget:

Why didn't I make it?

Why didn't I take it right there?



The loneliest words you will ever know:

If only if only it were so

The emptiest words that there'll ever be:

It coulda been me, it coulda been me

The loneliest words you will ever know:

If only if only it were so

The emptiest words that there'll ever be:

It coulda been me, it coulda been me


You'll have to pay for it later

If you don't get it when it's going for free

Believe me, believe me


A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

It's something that's always been so

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

And one of these nights

You've gotta show me that you already know

There's a feast waiting for you and you've never even gotten a taste

It's later than you think

And a kiss is a terrible thing to waste



You shouldn't tremble when we touch

There's no reason for these fears

It's a promise that was made

We've been promised this for years

I want to show you it all

What to do and where and how

Cause we'll never be as young as we are right now

CAUSE WE'LL NEVER BE AS YOUNG AS WE ARE RIGHT NOW!



So many cries in the night that you've tried to ignore:

Why didn't I do this?

Why didn't I do that?

So many unanswered prayers, so many unopened doors:

Why didn't I take it?

Why didn't I make it come true?



The loneliest words you will ever know:

If only if only it were so

The emptiest words that there'll ever be :

It coulda been me, it coulda been me

The loneliest words you will ever know :

If only if only it were so

The emptiest words that there'll ever be :

It coulda been me, it coulda been me



You'll have to pay for it later

If you don't get it when it's going for free

Believe me, Believe me, Believe me


A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

It's something that's always been so

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

And one of these nights

I'm gonna show you that you already know

There's a feast waiting for you and you've never even gotten a taste

It's later than you think

And a kiss is a terrible thing to waste


There's a feast waiting for you and you've never even gotten a taste

It's later than you think

And a kiss is a terrible thing to waste



Tire tracks and broken hearts, that's all we're leaving behind

It doesn't matter what we lose, it only matters what we're going to find

Tire tracks and broken hearts, that's all we're leaving behind

It doesn't matter what we lose, it only matters what we're going to find

Tire tracks and broken hearts, that's all we're leaving behind

It doesn't matter what we lose, it only matters what we're going to find


Tire tracks and broken hearts, that's all we're leaving behind

It doesn't matter what we lose, it only matters what we're going to find

Tire tracks and broken hearts, that's all we're leaving behind

It doesn't matter what we lose, it only matters what we're going to find


There's a feast waiting for you and you've never even gotten a taste

It's later than you think

And a kiss is a terrible thing to waste

a kiss is a terrible thing to waste

A kiss...is a terrible thing to waste.
