In "1.3," Whitney Whitney holds love at a careful distance, insisting no past kiss or closeness was worth repeating. The longing is quiet but firm: not for a fleeting night but for a lasting, almost sacred bond. The repeated refusal to say "I love you" in vain turns restraint into self-respect, protecting a future promise from past disappointments where affection arrived with empty talk of forever. The song rests in patient hope, asking only not to be hurt while waiting for the one who will finally make those words true.
1.3 Lyrics by Whitney Whitney
There’s not a kiss I’d redo
No one I wanna get close to
I haven’t said many I love you’s
But one day I would want to
Oh you will find me
You will be mine
Not just till the morning bird sing for us
I wait for the perfect view
I wasn’t meant for the blues
You’ll find me and I’ll find you
Then fly me up to the moon
I don’t ask for much
just don’t hurt me please
Do do do do do
There’s not a kiss I’d redo
No one I wanna get close to
I haven’t said many I love you’s
But one day I would want to
I have been held by few in my bed
They talk ‘bout forever while kissing my head
But they leave or I quit
Or something like that
So I haven’t said many I love yous yet
Now there’s not a kiss I’d redo
No one I wanna get close to
I haven’t said many I love you’s
But one day I would want to
I haven’t been held in the rain
But i’m not even looking not praying
You gotta be Godly or something
I won’t say I love you in vain
No I won’t say I love you in vain
