If I Kiss You (Will You Go Away) is the name of a popular 1967 Country Music song, by Country singer Lynn Anderson.

[edit] Summary

This song was very important to Lynn Anderson's career. "If I Kiss You" became Anderson's first hit single for her. Before then she released her first single called "Ride, Ride, Ride" during the same year, which made the Country Top 40. Shortly after that song was released she released her next single "If I Kiss You (Will You Go Away)". The song reached the Top 5 on the Country charts that year. The song showed what was ahead for Lynn Anderson in the future. She would later be best-known for her 1970 Grammy Award-winning Country/Pop crossover hit "(I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden".

Lynn Anderson also sung "If I Kiss You" on the Lawrence Welk Show, which she was hired to sing on during the late 1960s. "If I Kiss You" was followed up by a couple other quirky Country numbers that became hits, like "That's a No No", "Big Girls Don't Cry", (not to be confused with the song "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons) and "Flattery Will Get You Everywhere", all hits for her in the late 1960s.
