lyrics

Did you imagine - ooh
That a kiss contains a promise, a caress an I.O.U?
Did you imagine - ooh
That to stop was a suggestion, and a no means that I want you?

We met on a hill by the mouth of a friend
I left my caution at home; you had a casual in
We made a plan, set the date, I thought that I would be safe
You bit your tongue and held your sin 'til you were sure you would win
And I a fool, too sweet to see, and several sheets to the wind
You pulled me back into a kiss - I didn't think to resist

Did you imagine - ooh
That a kiss contains a promise, a caress an I.O.U?
Did you imagine - ooh
That to stop was a suggestion, and a no means that I want you?

I should've run before I heard the clicking latch of the door
There's not a woman born who's ready for what you had in store
Surprised, I froze, but still you rose - I moved too slow to escape
When I left I thought my heart would beat a hole through my chest
And all alone I'd feel the oxygen abandon my breath
And it was days before my lips could find the frightening phrase

It started off all right
And after all, I had a hunger for a love for a night
Bruising in the morning, I knew
That bullets couldn't break me like your fingers could do

Did you imagine - ooh
That a kiss contains a promise, a caress an I.O.U?
Did you imagine - ooh
That to stop was a suggestion, and a no means
Did you imagine - ooh
That a kiss contains a promise, a caress an I.O.U?
Did you imagine - ooh
That to stop was a suggestion, and a no means
A no means that I want you?
