Can I Have A Kiss? Lyrics
Excuse me for this
I just want a kiss
I just want to know what it feels like to touch
Something so pure
Something I’m so sure of
What it feels like to stand outside your door
I’m unworthy
I can see you’re above me
But I can be lovely given the chance
Don’t move
I want to remember you just like this
Don’t move
It’s only a breath or two between our lips
I know why you left
I can’t blame you myself
Must be hard living with ghosts and such an empty shell
I tried to warn you
I’ve been a mess since you’ve known me
I can’t promise forever
But I’m working on it
If I can’t hold you
Can I give you a kiss
Can I have a kiss
I see that you’re torn
I’ve got some scars of my own
Seems I want what I know is gonna leave me hungry
Don’t move
I need to remember you just like this
I know why you left
I can’t blame you myself
Must be hard living with ghosts and such an empty shell
I tried to warn you
I’ve been a mess since you’ve known me
I can’t promise forever
But I’m working on it
If I can’t hold you
Can I give you a kiss
Can I
All I have
All I can give to you I will
Just promise this
If I can’t have forever
Can I have a kiss
I know why you left
I can’t blame you myself
Must be hard living with ghosts and such an empty shell
I tried to warn you
I’ve been a mess since you’ve known me
I can’t promise forever
But I’m working on it
If I can’t hold you
Can I give you a kiss
Can I give you a kiss
Can I, can I
Can I have a kiss
I just want a kiss
I just want to know what it feels like to touch
Something so pure
Something I’m so sure of
What it feels like to stand outside your door
I’m unworthy
I can see you’re above me
But I can be lovely given the chance
I want to remember you just like this
Don’t move
It’s only a breath or two between our lips
I can’t blame you myself
Must be hard living with ghosts and such an empty shell
I tried to warn you
I’ve been a mess since you’ve known me
I can’t promise forever
But I’m working on it
If I can’t hold you
Can I give you a kiss
Can I have a kiss
I’ve got some scars of my own
Seems I want what I know is gonna leave me hungry
I need to remember you just like this
I can’t blame you myself
Must be hard living with ghosts and such an empty shell
I tried to warn you
I’ve been a mess since you’ve known me
I can’t promise forever
But I’m working on it
If I can’t hold you
Can I give you a kiss
Can I
All I can give to you I will
Just promise this
If I can’t have forever
Can I have a kiss
I can’t blame you myself
Must be hard living with ghosts and such an empty shell
I tried to warn you
I’ve been a mess since you’ve known me
I can’t promise forever
But I’m working on it
If I can’t hold you
Can I give you a kiss
Can I give you a kiss
Can I, can I
Can I have a kiss

love the tone of desperation in this song...btw this album is GREAT --- it really grows on u, all the negative media attention is BULLSHIT!!! just cuz shes not exactly the same and not as mainstream peeps r making a fuss....
"I can’t promise forever but I’m working on it"
absolutely brilliant! Kelly really proved herself on her new CD
she intends well but did something wrong in the past and now is pleading for the guy to, if not give her what they were before, at least a kiss.
i totally disagree with t dot... this is like, the worst song on the album. i basically like every other one. haha.
I absolutely love this song! It has an incredible melody, and is instantly likable. The rest of the album is also amazing, but favors repeated listens.
I love this CD! Got it yesterday and I listened to every song like 6 times!!! Or tried, anyway! I love kelly Clarkson! My least favorite (of her CDS) so far is Thankful.
I like the breathiness (wrd?) in the opening verse, and absolutely love the words in that same verse, but the rest is okay. The music in the chorus gets annoying, because it sounds like a skipping record, kind of.
The way she says "kiss" gets on my nerves. It's kind of corny, the way she's asking for a kiss, and sort of naive. But whatever. It's just the impression I got.
The album does grow on me, though. It'll just take a couple of visits to this site, and a few more listens, and I'll be liking the whole thing.

This part is what gets me:
I tried to warn you I’ve been a mess since you’ve known me I can’t promise forever But I’m working on it
This literally describes my whole being. I want to find my prince charming and live my happily ever after. But with the way my life has been, I find it hard to believe that it actually happens. Hence the "i've been a mess".
However, since I really want to believe that it can happen (and WILL happen) that's why I love the part "i can't promise forever, but i'm working on it"
It's SO real to me. She took the words right out of my mouth. I think everyone feels this way when they've been let down before (numerious times).
They were both head over heels in love
Now they are broken up and everythings changed she never knew it would ever happen to them
so shes confronting him and letting him know she realizes shes "unworthy" now
and is asking for a hookup just so she can remember him in a somewhat good way
its so sad.
this is how i feel right now. she misses him and just wants to know how it felt like again. That's all i want.. all i really want.
