Kissing Bug lyrics

You say that I'm the one you love

You swear by every star above

And then you kiss some other miss.

You're nothing but a kissing bug. (1)

You promise that you'll take my hand

And lead me to the preacher man (2)

But now I find it's just a line (3)

You're nothing but a kissing bug.

You wouldn't, you couldn't, be true if you tried.

I've told you, won't scold you.

'Cause I love you so much

You old such-and-such (4)

I'm going to buy some bugaboo (5)

And that will put an end to you

And then I hope I'll never ever love

Another kissing bug.

[last stanza repeated]

Kissing bug.
