Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me 
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me 
Don't care even if I blow my top 
But, honey, honey, don't stop

I'd like to play a little game with you 
A little game especially made for two 
If you come close then I will show you how 
Closer, closer, now 

Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me 
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me 
Don't care even if I blow my top 
But, honey, honey, don't stop

We've never played this little game before 
If you relax then you'll enjoy it more 
Just settle down and let me teach you how 
Closer, closer, now

Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me 
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me 
Don't care even if I blow my top 
But, honey, honey, don't stop 
(But, honey, honey, don't stop)

You kiss so well my lips begin to burn 
And I can tell I've got a lot to learn 
So hold me close and darling show me how 
Closer, closer, now

Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me 
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me 
Don't care even if I blow my top 
But, honey, honey, don't stop 
(Don't care even if I blow my top) 
But, honey, honey, don't stop 
(Never stop)
