Lyrics
I put into Nashville, Tennessee
I arrived in Nashville, Tennessee
But you wouldn't even come around to see me
You didn't make an effort to meet me
You seemed to headin' up to Carolina
You appeared to be heading to Carolina
You know I gonna be right there behind you
I'll be right there behind you
'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
I consistently have to take initiative to kiss you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
I always find myself needing to take the lead in kissing you
Now I love to feel that warm southern rain
I enjoy experiencing the warm southern rain
Just to hear it fall is the sweetest sounds of things
The sound of rain falling is a delightful experience
And to see it fall on your simple country dress
Seeing rain on your simple country dress is heavenly
It's like heaven to me I must confess
This sight brings me immense joy, I confess
'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Just like with kisses, I always have to initiate them with you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
Repeated emphasis on the need to take the lead in kissing you
Now I've been hangin' around you for days
I've been spending a lot of time with you
But when I lean in you just turn your head away
When I try to kiss you, you avoid it
Wo, I know you didn't mean that
You seem to regret your action, expressing it wasn't intentional
She said I love the way you think
You appreciate my thoughts but dislike my behavior
But I hate the way you act
A conflict between liking my personality and disliking my actions
'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Reiteration of the constant need to initiate kisses
Always have to steal my kisses from you
Emphasis on the ongoing pattern of taking the lead in kissing you
