LYRICS - Never Never Never: I'd like to run away from you, but if you never found me I would die I'd like to break the chains you put around me, but I know I never will You stay away and all I do is wonder why the hell I wait for you But when did common sense prevail for lovers when we know it never will Impossible to live with you, but I know, I could never live without you For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you You never treat me like you should, so what's the good of loving as I do? Although you always laugh at love, nothing else would be good enough for you Impossible to live with you, but I know, I could never live without you For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you You make me laugh, you make me cry, you make me live, you make me die, for you You make me sing, you make me sad, you make me glad, you make me mad, for you I love you, hate you, love you, hate you But I'll want you till the world stops turning For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you I love you, hate you, love you, hate you But I'll want you till the world stops turning For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you I love you, hate you, love you, hate you But I'll want you till the world stops turning For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you ABOUT - Kiss Me Honey Honey Kiss Me: "Kiss Me, Honey Honey, Kiss Me" is a popular song written by Michael Julien and Al Timothy.
