Without Kissing Love Isn't Love 1920 "What's In A Name"

Since my love days embryonic,
real affection I have sought,
not the sentiment platonic
Girls of nowadays are taught,
those attachments intellectual,
seems to me so ineffectual.

Without kissing, love isn't love,
when it's missing, love isn't love
true affection can never express,
it's perfection without a caress,
love embraceless cannot suffice
it's so tasteless, lacking in spice,
turtle doving puts the love into loving
without it, love isn't love.

Without kissing, love isn't love,
when it's missing, love isn't love
true affection can never express,
it's perfection without a caress,
love embraceless cannot suffice
it's so tasteless, lacking in spice,
turtle doving puts the love into loving
without it, love isn't love.

Tho' it may seem out of fashion,
I prefer a yearning glance,
telling of a secret passion
and a longing for romance,
kissless love while there's no harm in it,
still there's very little charm in it.

Without kissing, love isn't love,
when it's missing, love isn't love
true affection can never express,
it's perfection without a caress,
love embraceless cannot suffice
it's so tasteless, lacking in spice,
turtle doving puts the love into loving
without it, love isn't love.

Without kissing, love isn't love,
when it's missing, love isn't love
true affection can never express,
it's perfection without a caress,
love embraceless cannot suffice
it's so tasteless, lacking in spice,
turtle doving puts the love into loving
without it, love isn't love.
