Billy's original rough demo with vocal guide.
Lyrics
(v1)
We met for the first time
In a music shop
I was searching for soul
She wanted rock
She looked at me sideways
Then I saw those lips
I dropped Otis Redding
And my heart nearly flipped
Pre-chorus
Kiss-me red lips have spun me right around
Love crept up without making a sound
Chorus
She doesn't leave love notes
Oh no, instead
She scrawls them on the mirror
In a kiss-me shade of red
Instrumental break
Chorus
She doesn't leave love notes
Oh no, instead
She scrawls them on the mirror
In a kiss-me shade of red
(v2)
Whenever I'm with her
It?s easy to unwind
And it makes me feel good
To know the girl is mine
I love how her laughter
Melts away the blues
She brings the sunshine
Wherever she goes
Pre-chorus
Kiss-me red lips have got me out of control
She keeps my heart singing and rocks my soul
Chorus
She doesn't leave love notes
Oh no instead
She scrawls them on the mirror
In a kiss-me shade of red
Instrumental (piano) break
Repeat Chorus
She doesn't leave love notes
Oh no instead
She scrawls them on the mirror
In a kiss-me shade of red
Bridge
I'm not much of a talker
But she loves my hands
Says they speak a language
That she understands
Pre-chorus
Kiss-me red lips have made my life complete
They took my soul and rocked it off its feet
Chorus
She doesn't leave love notes
Oh no, instead
She scrawls them on the mirror
In a kiss-me shade of red
Repeat Chorus
She doesn't leave love notes
Oh no, instead
She scrawls them on the mirror
In a kiss-me shade of red
