Still I Long for Your Kiss Lyrics

I know I shouldn't but I want you so bad
I know it couldn't be but I want what we had
I know our love is gone and I can't bring it back
Still I long for your kiss
Still I long for your kiss
I know it's over cause you told me so
I tried to leave but I can't let you go
I can't believe you don't want me no more
Still I long for your kiss
Still I long for your kiss
The days go by but they don't seem the same
I cry and cry and I call out your name
I go downtown I see your face
Nobody around can take your place
But you put me down
But you turned me away
Still I long for your kiss
Still I long for your kiss

The days go by but they don't seem the same
I cry and cry and I call out your name
I go downtown I see your face
Nobody around can take your place
But you put me down

But you turned me away
Still I long for your kiss
Still I long for your kiss

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

No comments? Gah!

The whole album is a heartbreak. This one in partiuclar. Sums up the not-quite-being-able-to-let go, beautifully.

"I know it's over cause you told me so I tried to leave but I can't let you go I can't believe you don't want me no more Still I long for your kiss"

It's as true today as it was back when you told me not to call.
