A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste Lyrics - 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 

C'mon closer to me now 

It's 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 lost 

That you'll never forget 

"Why didn't I make it?" 

"Why didn't I take it right there?" 

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 -!

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 

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! 

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! 

Because we'll never be as young as we are right now 

BECAUSE 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?" 

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 -!) 

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 

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) 

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!

Tire tracks and broken hearts 

It's all we're leaving behind 

It doesn't matter what we're losing 

It's 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 

It's 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 

It's only matters what we're going to find! 

(So many ways it could pass) 

(instrumental break) 

Tire tracks and broken hearts 

It's all we're leaving behind 

It doesn't matter what we're losing 

It's 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 

It's only matters what we're going to find! 

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! 

(A kiss is a terrible thing to waste!) 

A kiss is a terrible thing to 

WASTE!
