A Kiss Is a Terrible Thing to Waste

Lyrics

[Intro: Cathy Porter] Aah, if only Aah, if only [Verse 1: Meat Loaf] If you listen to the night You can hear the darkness call I can barely stand to wait I can barely stand at all Come on closer to me now Like we're sharing the same skin We gotta get out of this jail We gotta let the future in So many things in your life That you're bound to regret "Why didn't I do that? Why didn't I do this?" So many chances you've lost That you'll never forget "Why didn't I make it? Why didn't I take it right there?" [Pre-Chorus: Meat Loaf] The loneliest words you'll ever know "If only, if only it was so!" The emptiest words that they'll ever be "It could've been me! It could've been me!" The loneliest words you'll ever know "If only, if only it was so!" The emptiest words that they'll ever be "It could've been me! It could've been me!" You'll have to pay for it later If you don't get it when it's going for free Believe me! Believe me! [Chorus: Meat Loaf] A kiss is a terrible thing to waste A kiss is a terrible thing to waste It's something that's always been so A kiss is a terrible thing to waste A kiss is a terrible thing to waste And one of these nights You're gonna show me that you already know [Post-Chorus: Meat Loaf] There's a feast waiting for you And you've never even gotten a taste It's later than you think And a kiss is a terrible thing to waste [Verse 2: Meat Loaf] You shouldn't tremble when we touch There's no reason for these fears It's a promise that was made We've been promised this for years I wanna show you it all What to do and where and how 'Cause we'll never be as young as we are right now We'll never be as young as we are right now So many cries in the night That you try to ignore "Why didn't I do this? Why didn't I do that?" So many unanswered prayers So many unopened doors "Why didn't I take it? Why didn't I make it come true?" [Pre-Chorus: Meat Loaf] The loneliest words you'll ever know "If only, if only it was so!" The emptiest words that they'll ever be "It could've been me! It could've been me!" The loneliest words you'll ever know "If only, if only it was so!" The emptiest words that they'll ever be "It could've been me! It could've been me!" You'll have to pay for it later If you don't get it when it's going for free Believe me! Believe me, believe me! [Chorus: Meat Loaf] A kiss is a terrible thing to waste A kiss is a terrible thing to waste It's something that's always been so A kiss is a terrible thing to waste A kiss is a terrible thing to waste And one of these nights I'm gonna show you that you already know [Post-Chorus: Meat Loaf] There's a feast waiting for you And you've never even gotten a taste It's later than you think And a kiss is a terrible thing to waste [Instrumental Break] [Post-Chorus: Meat Loaf] There's a feast waiting for you And you've never even gotten a taste It's later than you think And a kiss is a terrible thing to waste [Bridge: Meat Loaf & Bonnie Tyler] Tire tracks and broken hearts It's all we're leaving behind It doesn't matter what we're losing Only matters what we're going to find Tire tracks and broken hearts It's all we're leaving behind It doesn't matter what we're losing Only matters what we're going to find Tire tracks and broken hearts It's all we're leaving behind (Let's get away from the past) It doesn't matter what we're losing Only matters what we're going to find (So many ways to go fast) [Instrumental Break] [Bridge: Meat Loaf & Bonnie Tyler] Tire tracks and broken hearts It's all we're leaving behind It doesn't matter what we're losing Only matters what we're going to find Tire tracks and broken hearts It's all we're leaving behind It doesn't matter what we're losing Only matters what we're going to find [Post-Chorus: Meat Loaf & Bonnie Tyler] There's a feast waiting for you And you've never even gotten a taste It's later than you think And a kiss is a terrible thing to waste [Outro: Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler] (A kiss is a terrible thing to waste) A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
