“How Can You Kiss Me”

Well, how can you kiss me
Turn around and walk away?
You don’t even miss me
And I know you’re gonna say
The same things you said to me
To another man

You don’t know how it hurts me
When you tell me all those lies
I wish you’d just desert me
Instead of playin’ with my pride
I wish that you’d stop foolin’ me
And I know you can

One day you’ll know, love
That I am more than what you see
But now you don’t know, love
You’re only lookin’ skin deep
I only wish that I could make
You understand

Well, how can you kiss me
Turn around and walk away?
You don’t even miss me
And I know you’re gonna say
The same things you said to me
To another man
