Author's note: Blue is Tom's thoughts. The song is not mine, I think it belongs to Cher.

Does he love me I wanna know
how can I tell if he loves me so?
(Is it in his eyes)
Soft brown eyes, so warm when talking to a crewmember, sparkling with laughter at a joke made by the Captain, shining with intelligence, afire with anger at some prank he?d pulled.
oh no you'll be deceived
(is it in his sighs) oh no he'll make believe.
If you wanna know (shoop shoop shoop shoop
shoop shoop shoop) if he loves you so
it's in his kiss (that's where it is oh yeah).
What would it be like to kiss Chakotay? Hard? Passionate? Soft? Loving? Playful?
(Or is it in his face)
A warm brown face, with cute dimples and a sexy tatto.
oh no it's just his charms
(in his warm embrace)
Oh to be in Chakotay?s warm embrace, portected, cherished, loved
oh no that's just his arms.
Strong arms, wrapping themselves around Tom.....
If you wanna know (shoop shoop shoop shoop shoop shoop shoop) if he loves you so
it's in his kiss (that's where it is)
Tom would do anything to be able to kiss Chakotay just once, to feel the older man?s lips on his, just once
woh-oh it's in his kiss (that's where it is).
Oh yes, everything is in Chakotay?s kiss, if only.
Chorus: Woh-oh-oh hug him and squeeze him tight
I would, but he?d probably get me thrown in the brig
and find out what you want to know.
If it's love if it really is it's there in his kiss.
He doesn?t love me. He can?t. But I love him so, it hurts.
(How 'bout the way he acts) oh no that's not the way
He acts like he hates me, and he does, but I can?t help but love him
and you're not listening to all I say.
If you wanna know (shoop shoop shoop shoop shoop shoop shoop shoop)
How could anyone not love him?
if he loves you so
it's in his kiss (that's where it is)
woh-oh it's in his kiss (that's where it is).
If I could kiss him just once, it could last me my entire life
Oh yeah it's in his kiss (that's where it is)
Who am I kidding?
ooh it's in his kiss (that's where it is),
There?s no way I could stop at just one. I want to kiss him always
ooh it's in his kiss (that's where it is),
I love him.
ooh it's in his kiss (that's where it is),
I?ll take anything he?ll give me
ooh it's in his kiss (that's where it is),
Even his contempt
ooh it's in his kiss (that's where it is),
Because then at least I know he cares
ooh it's in his kiss (that's where it is),
I love him
ooh it's in his kiss (that's where it is).
Oh, Damn

Chakotay paused in the corridor and then, shaking his head, continued, he could have sworn he?d heard Tom Paris singing something about a kiss
