Song lyrics - The Shoop Shoop Song 
(It's In His Kiss)

Does he love me, I wanna know,
How can I tell if he loves me so.

Is it in his eyes
Oh no you'll be deceived
Is it in his eyes
Oh no he'll make believe
If you wanna know if he loves you so,
It's in his kiss
That's where it is...oh yeah.

Oh is it in his face
Oh no it's just his charms
Or his warm embrace
Oh no that's just his arms
If you wanna know if he loves you so,
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Oh oh oh it's in his kiss
That's where it is

Oh oh oh hold him,
Squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know-oh-oh-oh
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss

How 'bout the way he acts
Oh no that's not the way
You're not listnin' to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so,
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Oh oh it's in his kiss
That's where it is

(Instrumental)

Oh oh oh hold him, squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know oh oh oh
If it's love, if it really is,
It's there in his kiss

How 'bout the way he acts
Oh no that's not the way
You're not listinin' to what I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so,
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Oh oh oh it's in his kiss
That's where it is
Oh yeah
It's in his kiss,
That's where it is
