I was a knock-kneed freckle faced over shy under fed boy

in the summer I'll always remember.

Said I was high-strung middle-class over-sexed underemployed

by September I was a man.

I followed the throng out to the coast and found

a girl who stepped out of a song

and my world filled with light and sound as she said to me

Chorus

Can I borrow a kiss that's what I heard.

Can I borrow a kiss no cost incurred

and I'll pay it back with interest if you'll only say the word.

Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do,

Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true

Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss

and I'll give it right back to you

and I'll give it right back to you.

I knew I would not be alone

and that soon all my cares would end when she said to me

Can I borrow a kiss is what I heard

Can I borrow a kiss no cost incurred

and I'll pay it back with interest, if you'll only say the word

Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do

Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true

Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss

and I'll give it right back to you

(---)

and I'll give it right back to you

Bridge

When I look back upon the time that's passed away

It always seems that all my dreams are yesterday

(instrumental)

and I'll pay it back with interest, if you'll only say the word

Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do

Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true

Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss

and I'll give it right back to you

and I'll give it right back to you
