Summary

by Jerome Kern A Little Thing like a Kiss (1913)

There are kisses that mean little to the taker or the giver, There are other that mean Oh so much, Of those we must beware, For the kiss that from certain party fairly makes you shiver From another is a trifle light as air, Often times when lips are meeting one or both is really cheating, It's no more than pressure of the finger tips, In some cases you go through it, Feeling there is nothing to it, For a kiss comes from the heart and not the lips.

by Jerome Kern A Little Thing like a Kiss (1913)

So kiss, kiss There's nothing that's amiss, In the friendly kisses of a friend or two, You may get some frigid glances, But one has to take those chances I don't see a thing to fuss about do you, Do you So kiss kiss I gives another bliss you have thousands and just one you'll never miss, If it makes some sad heart lighter, If it makes this old world brighter Don't be stingy Don't be stingy, Don't be cross about a little thing like a kiss.
