Itīs late enough all you kids should be home
The policeman says as he takes your beer for his own
You remember wondering what his wife
Thought about his occupation
He knows that you were just chasing a dream
To the town line and then back and over again
So he winks at you girls
And tells you all "iīll see you later"
[Chorus]
I was stealing kisses from a boy
Now iīm begging affection from a man
In my housedress donīt know you who i am
Standing in your kitchen
Itīs late enough your husbandīs dinner is cold
So you wrap it up and leave it for him on the stove
Itīs probably the traffic again
Or another important meeting
And you havenīt talked to an adult all day
īcept your neighbor who drives you crazy
When he finally gets in heīs sure not in the mood for talking
[Chorus]
And hours become days and days become years
And you could burn down this town
If they made matches from fear
Buy youīre no worse off than anybody else
Hey donīt you even know, donīt you even know yourself
So youīre standing outside your high school door
The one you walked out of twenty years before
And you whisper to all of the girls, run, run, run
I was stealing kisses from a boy
Now iīm begging affection from a man
In my housedress donīt you know who i am
Take a look at who i am, iīm stealing kisses
