Song Description
Exploration of feelings: the singer wants to physically experience the person to whom the song is being sung; either as little or as much as that person wants to engage.
Just like a kiss, this sweet and soft contemporary ballad is full of a longing, innocent curiosity. Two different versions, both female vocals but different singers/producers/feels.

Lyrics
TO KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
Music & Lyrics by Denise Dimin/Reel2Real Songs

Let me kiss you once, just to see what it's like.
I'm not asking for - the deed to your life.
And I'm not saying I'll want to kiss you again,
But years from now, I'll be remembering when,
I kissed you.
Let me touch your skin, just to feel what it's like.
But please don't give me words of advice.
I'm not saying your touch, won't turn me cold,
But someday I can say, when I'm feeling old,
I touched you.
Let me kiss you, let me touch you ... oooh
No deed to your life, no words of advice ...
Except you.
I'd like to hold your body, just to know what it's like.
But please don't talk, of wrong or right.
I know what I want, and I know what I feel.
But someday I'll remember, when nothing seems real,
I held you.
Let me kiss you, let me touch you, let me hold you.
No deed to your life, no words of advice, no wrong or right.
Only you.
You appeal to my sense of dishonesty.
You shape my thoughts, constantly.
I fantasize, I plot and I scheme.
But now, my friend, it's little more than a dream,
To have you.
Let me kiss you, let me touch you, let me hold you.
No deed to your life, no words of advice, no wrong or right.
Only you.
