Mouth to Mouth – English Lyrics

• By: Paloma Faith

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Put on your crisp white shirt

I'll wear a bright red skirt

I'll take a taxi ride

So we can drink all night

I know it's been so long

But boy, you still turn me on

'Cause tonight I want to

Make love like strangers

No more fighting, no more pain

It would drive us both insane

Let's just do it like we just met

(Do it, do it, do it, yeah)

Write your number on my hand

Sweat it off when we dance

And we'll do it like we just met

Ooh-oh, mouth to mouth, we touch

Resuscitating what we nearly lost

I never wanna let you go, so just

Do it like we never met before

Give me mouth to mouth

Hey-eh-eh, yeah-eh-eh, yeah-eh-eh, yeah-eh-eh

Walk through the neon lights

I love this London Eye

Come here, my big brown eyes

And kiss these lips of mine

Now, will you walk me home? (Yeah, yeah)

And if you're wanting more (yeah, yeah)

Just ask, I won't say no (yeah, yeah)

Let's make this magic

No more fighting, no more pain

It would drive us both insane

Let's just do it like we just met

(Do it, do it, do it, yeah)

Write your number on my hand

Sweat it off when we dance

And we'll do it like we just met

Ooh-oh, mouth to mouth, we touch

Resuscitating what we nearly lost

I never wanna let you go, so just

Do it like we never met before

Give me mouth to mouth

Whoa!

Oh, when you touch me, I turn golden

Forgot to remember you could make me feel this

Won't go to work tomorrow morning

Stay in all day and tell, the neighbors know your name

And I know that sometimes baby (sometimes baby)

I can seem a little crazy (little crazy)

Just grab me by the back of my neck

And give me mouth to mouth

Ooh-oh, mouth to mouth, we touch

Resuscitating what we nearly lost

I never wanna let you go so just

Do it like we never met before

Give me mouth to mouth

Ooh-oh, mouth to mouth, we touch

Resuscitating what we nearly lost

I never wanna let you go, so just

Do it like we never met before

Give me mouth to mouth

Hey-eh-eh, yeah-eh-eh, yeah-eh-eh, yeah-eh-eh
