(Mwah!)
When you look at me, tell me what do you see?
This is what you get it's the way I am
When I look at you I wanna be, I wanna be somewhere close to heaven with Neanderthal man
Don't go, I know you want to touch me
Here there and everywhere
Sparks fly when we are together, you can't deny the facts of life
You don't have to act like a star

The lyrics of Holly Valance’s hit song “Kiss Kiss” explore the tension between attraction and independence. Valance is confident in her own identity and refuses to change for anyone, but at the same time, she is drawn to her partner and their physical connection. When she looks at him, she wants to be “somewhere close to heaven,” but she is also aware that her bad girl tendencies might lead her astray. Despite these conflicting feelings, she is ready to give herself to him completely: “Don’t play the games that you play, ‘cause you know that I won’t run away. Why ain’t you asking me to stay? ‘Cause tonight I’m gonna give you my-“.
