Lyrics The Infant Kiss - Kate Bush

The Infant Kiss

I say «Goodnight, night»
I tuck him in tight
But things are not right
What is this?
An infant kiss
That sends my body tingling?
I’ve never fallen for
A little boy before
No control
Just a kid and just at school
Back home they’d call me dirty
His little hand is on my heart
He’s got me where it hurts me
Knock, knock — who’s there in this baby?
You know how to work me
All my barriers are going
It’s starting to show
Let go, let go
Let go, let go, let go
I cannot sit and let
Something happen I’ll regret
Ooh, he scares me
There’s a man behind those eyes
I catch him when I’m bending
Ooh, how he frightens me
When they whisper privately
Poor, stupid girl
Windy-wailey blows me
Words of caress on their lips
That speak of adult love
I want to smack but I hold back
I only want to touch
But I must stay and find a way
To stop before it gets too much
All my barriers are going
It’s starting to show
Let go, let go
Don’t let go
Let go, let go, let go
