Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Everything is upside down,
I used to fly, I’ve hit the ground
I hope you realize that it is all because of you
I’ve never felt so bad before,
I don’t think I can take much more
If you love me, there is something you have got to do
(Chorus)
You’ve got to kiss me, hug me, say that you love me,
It’s what I really need right now
Kiss me, hug me, say that you love me,
Hold me close and squeeze me tight
True love has the power
Given what just seems to light
Oh, kiss me, hug me, say that you love me,
Everything is gonna be alright
(Verse 2)
I really thought my love was true,
A single goal I had with you
I hope you realize that it’s all because of you
I’ve never ever felt this way,
My world is full of disarray
Before you leave me, there is something you have got to do
(Chorus)
You’ve got to kiss me, hug me, say that you love me,
It’s what I really need right now
Kiss me, hug me, say that you love me,
Hold me close and squeeze me tight
True love has the power
Given what just seems to light
Oh, kiss me, hug me, say that you love me,
Everything is gonna be alright
(Bridge)
So kiss me (kiss me)
Hug me (hug me)
Say that you love me
Everything is gonna be alright
True love has the power
Given what just seems to light
Oh, kiss me, hug me, say that you love me,
Everything is gonna be alright
(Chorus)
Kiss me, hug me, say that you love me,
It’s all I really need right now
Kiss me, hug me, say that you love me,
Hold me close and squeeze me tight
True love has the power
Given what just seems to light
Oh, kiss me, hug me, say that you love me,
Everything is gonna be alright
(Outro)
Kiss me, hug me, say that you love me,
It’s all I really need right now
Kiss me, hug me, say that you love me,
Hold me close and squeeze me tight-
