I'm something you like to share
with someone for whom you care.
Sometimes spicy, sometimes sweet,
Sometimes sweeps you off your feet.
Find me on the FM dial,
Coast to coast across the miles.
You've seen me in my make up
And you can make up with me.
I'm the X's to your O's.
Tell me then - who can I be?

You're a

Kiss

I'm something you like to share with someone for whom you care.

Family/lovers share kisses

Sometimes spicy, sometimes sweet,

An alternate definiton of kiss is "a small cake or cookie, typically a meringue." So a spicy/sweet meringue.

Sometimes sweeps you off your feet.

A kiss can sweep you off your feet

Find me on the FM dial, Coast to coast across the miles.

Kiis FM "Coast to coast"

You've seen me in my make up And you can make up with me.

"Kiss and make up" (thanks Conman)

I'm the X's to your O's.

XO is hugs and kisses where X's are the kiss

  • $\begingroup$ I suspect the clue about finding me on the FM dial refers not to a station, but to the band, which also ties in to the clue about seeing me in my make up. $\endgroup$
