Lyrics to Kiss And Tell (Single Mix)

Lyrics to the song Kiss And Tell as recorded by Bryan Ferry.

(Ferry)
Ten cents a dance
It's the only price to pay
Why give 'em more
When it's only love for sale?
Adam and Eve
It's the oldest game in town
Just a one way street
To a faded magazine

Kiss and tell money talks
It never lies
Kiss and tell give and take
Eye for an eye
Fever, the heat of the night
Dreamer, stealer of sighs

One public face
In a private limousine
Flash photograph
It's the only light you see
No secret life
There's no secret you can steel
Your lips are moving
But I will never know
What they mean

Kiss and tell money talks
And love it burns
Kiss and tell give and take
We live and learn
Fever, the heat of the night
Dreamer, stealer of sighs

Fever, the heat of the night
Dreamer, stealer of sighs

Kiss and tell we never lie
Kiss and tell eye for an eye
Kiss and tell blood on a nail
Kiss and tell kiss me again
Kiss and tell kiss and tell
Kiss and tell kiss and tell
Kiss and tell kiss and tell
Kiss and tell kiss and tell
