A kiss is so sweet, so sweet
Ask me for one every single day
Come running close by my side
It pours love into every heart that sees it
This youth of sweet sixteen...
A kiss is so sweet, so sweet
Ask me for one every single day
Come running close by my side
It pours love into every heart that sees it
This youth of sweet sixteen...
Touch my waist and see
This is the street to the temple of love
The sweet nectar welling on my lips
Won't it intoxicate you?
Touch my waist and see
This is the street to the temple of love
The sweet nectar welling on my lips
Won't it intoxicate you?
You can lift this flower-like girl in your arms
And swim every day in a river of pleasure
A kiss is so sweet, so sweet
Ask me for one every single day
Come running close by my side
It pours love into every heart that sees it
This youth of sweet sixteen...
The intoxication born of wine
This girl shows it in her eyes
When you spend time with a beautiful woman
The pleasures are endless millions
A hundred women every day
You could make your own
Yet a woman like me
You will rarely ever find
A kiss is so sweet, so sweet
Ask me for one every single day
Come running close by my side
It pours love into every heart that sees it
This youth of sweet sixteen...
A lovely garden of jasmine flowers
And a swarm of bees seeking it out
Yearning right here, throbbing right here
As youthful passion plays its games
A lovely garden of jasmine flowers
And a swarm of bees seeking it out
Yearning right here, throbbing right here
As youthful passion plays its games
You too can act in this fresh play of desire
If our side-glances speak, this thirst can be quenched
A kiss is so sweet, so sweet
Ask me for one every single day
Come running close by my side
It pours love into every heart that sees it
This youth of sweet sixteen...
