Verse 1:

Oh, Lordy, well, I kissed her again, because...

She had kisses sweeter than wine,

She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine.
(Sweeter than wine)...
Verse 2:
Well, I asked her to marry and to be my sweet wife,
I told her we'd be so happy for the rest of our life.
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man,

Workin' hand-in-hand to have a good life.
