(Modernaires) <Jane Russell> [Frank and Jane]

(There they go again but they never break up,)

(Everyday a fight, and then they kiss and make up)

[Kisses and tears, that's all our love is,]

[It's nothing but kisses and tears.]

You don't seem to need the slightest reason

To chase that sunshine and bring on the rainy season.

<Kisses and tears, it's up to you>

<If we laugh or we cry through the years.>

(Though the years)

Unless you trust me, whenever a doubt appears,

[Your future with me will continue to be kisses and tears.>

<musical interlude>

You're crying again, you're sighing again,

Can't we patch it up this time?

And I guess it's allright, we've finished our fight, and now..

(It's just about kiss-time.)

You shouldn't be kissed, I oughta resist,

(That's all that love is)

<You're making me cry, you're making me sigh>

Oh watsa matter, baby?

You don't seem to need the slightest reason,

(To chase the sunshine and bring on, bring on the rainy season)

Kisses and tears, it's up to you

If we laugh or if we cry through the years

Unless you trust me [whenever a doubt appears,]

[Your future with me will continue to be}

Loving and crying, continually,

[Our future will be just kisses and tears.]

(Kisses and tears!)
