KATE BUSH
- The Infant Kiss Lyrics / with translationsI say goodnight-night,
I tuck him in tight,
But things are not right-
What is this? an infant kiss,
That sends my body tingling,
I've never fallen for,
A little boy before,
No control,
Just a kid and just a school,
Back home they'd call me dirty,
His little hand is on my heart,
He's got me where it hurts me.
Knockn , knock, who's there in this baby?
You know how to work me.
Chorus
And all my barriers are going,
It's starting to show.
Let go, let go.
I cannot sit and let,
Something happen I'll regret,
Ooh, he scares me,
There's a man behind those eyes,
I catch him when I'm bending.
Ooh, how he frightens me.
When they whisper privately,
Windy-wailey, blows me,
Words of caress on their lips,
That speak of adult love.
I want to smack but
I hold back.
I only want to touch.
But I must astay and find a way, to stop before it gets too much.
Chorus
