[Verse 1]
I was feeling down, beneath a frown
Just like a plane that can’t get off the ground
I couldn't face the climb
I was all alone until you phoned
How did you know that I'd be sitting home?
Sometimes I wonder 'bout your timing
We went out drinking
And before I started thinking
Much too hard
You played your wild card

[Verse 2]
You were sitting there, you had the chair
There was a little heaven in the air
Your hair was like a halo
Then you leaned so close and I supposed
You wanted to whisper something so I froze
Held my breath upon your say so
I closed my eyes
And suddenly I realised
Right on time
The moment that your mouth touched mine

[Chorus]
And I caught the common kiss
The one that's going round
I caught the common kiss
Now it's all over town
And I'll pass it on to someone else but only when it's time to
I caught the common kiss from you
[Verse 3]
Now I'm not the same, I have no shame
Just like a starlet who's in search of fame
I'll do anything
I'll stay in bed, forget the bread
I'll ring up work and I'll sound like I'm dead
I've lost my head, remembering
I closed my eyes
And suddenly I realised
Who was boss
When your mouth was right where mine was

[Chorus]
And I caught the common kiss
The one that's going round
I caught the common kiss
Now it's all over town
And I'll pass it on to someone else but only when it's time to
I caught the common kiss from you
And I'll pass it on to someone else who looks a lot like you do
'Cause I caught the common kiss from you
