[Intro – Horns & handclaps] (Clara Jean shouts) Ooooh! Don’t you know, boy— We’re just one kiss away! (Darlene & Lottie) One kiss away! [Verse 1] Every time you walk me home, You say goodnight and leave me alone. But, baby, can’t you feel it too? The magic sparklin’ between me and you! You smile, then turn your eyes away, But I know what you want to say— We’re one heartbeat from the start, One kiss away from fallin’ apart! [Chorus – Call & Response] (Lead: Clara Jean) One kiss away! (Backups) One kiss away! (Lead) From losin’ my mind today! (Backups) My mind today! (Lead) I can feel it in the air, (Backups) Love is everywhere! (All) Just one kiss away! [Verse 2] You hold my hand, I hold my breath, Feels like love’s one step from yes. I see it in your nervous grin, That moment waitin’ to begin. Don’t talk, just let the night decide, Your lips and mine can’t hide— Baby, time won’t make us stay, We’re just one kiss away! [Chorus – Full Harmony] One kiss away! (Ooooh!) One sweet sway! (Yeah!) Your heart beats fast, I feel the same— The spark has already lit the flame! Boy, don’t wait, don’t walk away— We’re one kiss away! [Bridge – Spoken over instrumental break] (Clara Jean): Mmm, you know you want to, baby— Quit playin’ shy! ‘Cause love don’t wait forever… It’s right here tonight! (Darlene & Lottie, echoing) Tonight, tonight, ooooh, tonight! [Breakdown – Drums and claps] (Call & Response) One kiss! (One kiss!) That’s all! (That’s all!) It’s the start of somethin’ tall! (So tall!) Can’t resist, no way— We’re one kiss away! [Final Chorus – Horns blazing, key change] One kiss away! (Ooooh yeah!) Just one kiss away! It’s now or never, baby, don’t delay— We’re one kiss away! The stars are shinin’, the music’s playin’— Love’s just one kiss away! [Outro – Fade over rhythm and ad libs] (Clara Jean ad lib) “One kiss, baby…” “Oh, one kiss away…” “Just one kiss away…” “Mmm, one kiss away…”
