It's been such a long time since I've had a kind word to say
I guess it's just the force of habit that forces me to carry on this way
I took and threw my share of punches, and I'm no better off or worse today
You know I'm tried and true, and through with feeling blue,
I think I need a new game to play

[Chorus:]

Cos' your kisses taste better than a kick in the head
And there's nowhere I'd rather be than with you in my bed
And I know a lot of things like this are better left unsaid
But your kisses taste better than a kick in the head

Threw my cards on the table, another push and I was double down
Threw down my defenses, and ran the risk of getting kicked around
But you pulled your punches and you kissed my head and left me smiling like a stupid clown
And it'll take a lot more than a thousand miles to beat me into the ground
