Dave Marsh, in _The Heart Of Rock & Soul_, said 'I wouldn't trade this little B-side [of 'Help Me Rhonda'] for all of _Pet Sounds_'. I wouldn't go that far, but it is a lovely (and somewhat overlooked) song, the third of five gorgeous ballads on the second side of _The Beach Boys Today_.
"Kiss Me, Baby" (Brian Wilson)

Verse 1:
Please don't let me argue any more
I won't make you worry like before
Can't remember what we fought about
Late, late last night, we said it was over
I remember when we thought it out
We both had a broken heart
Chorus:
(Whoa, baby) Kiss me baby, love to hold you
(Whoa, baby) Kiss me baby, love to hold you
Verse 2:
As I drove away I felt a tear It hit me I was losing someone dear Told my folks I would be all right Tossed and I turned while my head was so heavy And I wondered as it got light Were you still awake like me
[repeat chorus]
Coda:
...hold you tight
(Whoa, baby) Kiss me baby, love to hold you [repeat to fade]
