Without a Kiss - Aaron Tippin

When I knew I was gonna get it I’d hide if I could

'Cause when momma put on on ya she’d put it on ya good

I’d squirm and scream and jump around and try to get away

Oh but she’d just hold me tighter and this is what she’d say

You ain’t leavin' here without a kiss

I know you think I’m silly, but that’s just the way it is

'Til we’re together again I’ll wear your love upon my lips

Honey, you ain’t leavin' here without a kiss

Now brother’s off to Camp Lejeune with the proud and the few

Daddy shook his hand and said «Son, go do what you gotta do»

Yeah he was big and bad and full of fight and almost 6 foot 4

Oh but the one he wouldn’t mess with was standing in the door

And she said

You ain’t leavin' here without a kiss

I know you think I’m silly, but that’s just the way it is

'Til we’re together again I’ll wear your love upon my lips

Baby, you ain’t leavin' here without a kiss

Daddy took to cancer, nothin' left to do

When he slipped into a coma, we knew his days were few

But he was hangin' on and holdin' out, as stubborn as could be

And we didn’t know the reason why he wouldn’t leave

But when momma whispered in his ear, I knew the reason why

There was only one thing left to do, and he opened up his eyes

And he whispered

I ain’t leavin' here without a kiss

I know I’ll love you forever, and that’s just the way it is

'Til we’re together again I’ll wear your love upon my lips

Baby, I ain’t leavin' here without a kiss

Honey, I ain’t leavin' here without a kiss
