Gently, kiss me

Because I want to feel your lips

Kissing me again

Gently, kiss me

Because I want to feel your lips

Kissing me again (gently)

Kiss me, kiss me (gently)

Kiss me again (gently)

Because I want to feel your lips (gently)

Kissing me again (gently)

Kiss, kiss (gently)

Kiss me a little bit (gently)

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss (gently)

Kiss me for a little while longer (gently)

Little one, come here

...

When you kiss me, I feel in the air

That's why when I see you, I start to kiss you

And if you pull away, I wake up

From that sweet dream that your kisses give me

Gently

(Kiss me, because I want to feel your lips)

Kissing me again

Gently, that chorus! (kiss me)

It's the thing! (that I want to feel your lips)

Kissing me again

Kiss me softly, without rush and calmly

Give me a deep kiss that reaches my soul

Give me one more kiss, that fits in my mouth

Give me a slow kiss, give me a gentle kiss

Gently

(Kiss me, because I want to feel your lips)

Kissing me again

Gently, that chorus! (kiss me)

It's the thing! (that I want to feel your lips)

Kissing me again

Your lips have (gently)

That secret (gently)

I kiss, kiss (gently)

And I can't find it (gently)

A gentle kiss (gently)

Is what I long for (gently)

A kiss from you (gently)

Is what I want (gently)

Kiss me, kiss me (gently)

Kiss me again (gently)

Because I want to feel your lips (gently)

Kissing me gently (gently)

Tenderly (gently)

Sweetly (gently)

Sweetly (gently)

Kiss me a lot (gently)

Without rush and calmly (gently)

Give me a deep kiss that reaches my soul (gently)

Come closer, come closer, don't be afraid (gently)

I only tell you, one thing I want (gently)

...

Kiss me

...
