When I met you, my life was dull and filled with
discontent
I sold records for minimum wage, barely making rent
Played in a band that certainly did not fill in the
gaps
When I look back, it just might be that maybe, well,
perhaps
I'll tell you
Kerry Kathleen, I was alone
calling no one on the phone
(whoa, Kerry Kathleen, I was alone)
but no one was ever home
I nearly started to believe
you would definitely leave
And I would surely once again be left alone
And I'd dwell on what we had
and how I had it for you bad
but then you kiss me and that whole idea is blown
because you kiss me good
Now I know you possibly better than anyone else
Maybe even better than I appear to know myself
It's a good thing you caught me in the state that I was
in
When you kiss me, I completely forget where I was back
then
I'll tell you
Kerry Kathleen, I was alone
calling no one on the phone
(whoa, Kerry Kathleen, I was alone)
but no one was ever home
I nearly started to believe
you would definitely leave
And I would surely once again be left alone
And I'd dwell on what we had
and how I had it for you bad
but then you kiss me and that whole idea is blown
because you kiss me good
