[Intro]
I take her to the gate, she says, "It's getting late"
I ask her for a kiss, and then she gives me this

[Verse 1]
I never ever kissed a man before (Oh, yeah)
I say goodnight and quickly close the door (Oh, yeah)
I always leave them when they ask for more (Oh, yeah)
I'm careful what I do, that even goes for you

[Verse 2]
Because I always try to act a little cold (Oh, yeah)
I got a reputation to oppose (Oh, yeah)
I've got to bе so careful until I know you well
'Cause you might bе the kind to kiss and tell (Oh, no)

[Bridge]
Take it slow, take it slow
You'd go further if you didn't rush me so
Later on, later on
You may be surprised at all that's going on
(Then will we kiss?)

[Verse 3]
I'll never ever kiss you by the gate (Oh, yeah)
At least until we've had our second date (Oh, yeah)
And after I have kissed you, I always will be true
I'll never, never kiss somebody new (Oh, yeah)
[Verse 4]
You say you never kissed a man before (Mm-hm)
You say goodnight and quickly close the door (That's right)
I've gotta be so careful until I know you well
'Cause you might be the kind to kiss and tell (Oh, no)

[Bridge]
Take it slow, take it slow
You'd go further if you didn't rush me so
Later on, later on
You may be surprised at all that's going on
(Then will we kiss?)

[Verse 5]
I'll never ever kiss you by the gate (Oh, yeah)
At least until we've had our second date (Oh, yeah)
And after I have kissed you, I always will be true
I'll never, never kiss (You'll never, never kiss)
Well, hardly ever kiss somebody new (Oh, yeah)
