 Do it Again

You really shouldn't have done it, you hadn't any right
I really shouldn't have let you kiss me
And although it was wrong, I never was strong
Though as long as you've begun it, and you know you shouldn't have done it…

Oh, do it again
I may cry, "no, no, no, no, no"
But do it again
My lips just ache to have you take the kiss that's waiting for you
You know if you do, you won't regret it
Come and get it

Oh, no one is near
I may cry, "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"
But no one can hear
Mama may scold me 'cause she told me it was naughty
But then, please, do it again
Just do it again, and again and again and again and again

Turn out the light, and hold me close in your arms all through the night
I know tomorrow morning you will say goodbye and amen
But until then, please do it again
