Kiss This
Aaron Tippin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She was a woman on a mission
Here to drown him and forget him
So I set her up again to wash him down
And she had just about succeeded
When that low down, no good cheatin'
Good for nothing, came struttin' through the crowd
Oh, he was layin' it on so thick
He never missed a lick
Professing his never ending love
Oh, but I never will forget
When she stood up and said
"So I guess you think we're just gonna kiss and make up don't ya?"
That's when she said

Why don't you kiss (kiss), hey, kiss this
And I don't mean on my rosy red lips
A-me and you (me and you)
A-we're through (we're through)
And there's only one thing left for you to do
You just come on over here one last time
Pucker up and close your eyes
And kiss a-this (kiss), a-goodbye

Well, the next thing I recall
She had him back against the wall
Chewin' him like a bulldog on a bone
She was puttin' him in his place
And I mean right up in his face
Draggin' him down a list of done me wrongs
Well, it was just about now
That the crowd gathered 'round
They've come to watch him pay for his every sin
She called him everything under the sun
And when we thought that she was done
She reared back and she let him have it again, man

She said, she said

Why don't you kiss (kiss), hey, kiss this
And I don't mean on my rosy red lips
And me and you (me and you)
A-we're through (we're through)
And there's only one thing left for you to do
You just come on over here one last time
Pucker up and close your eyes
And kiss a-this (kiss)

Hey, kiss this
And I don't mean on my rosy red lips
And me and you (me and you)
A-we're through (we're through)
And there's only one thing left for you to do
You just come on over here one last time
Pucker up and close your eyes
And kiss a-this (kiss), a-goodbye

Hey, kiss this, goodbye

See ya

Overall Meaning

Aaron Tippin's song "Kiss This" is a story about a woman who is trying to forget a man and move on with her life. The singer sets her up with another man to help her forget.

The song has a catchy tune with a humorous twist as the woman tells her ex to "kiss this" - not her lips, but goodbye.


The song highlights the strong will of a woman who refuses to let a man walk all over her. She knows her worth and demands respect. When the man realizes that he has lost her for good, he leaves with a bruised ego. The woman's message is clear - she is done with him, and he needs to move on.

I met Aaron in 1994, through my then wife's employer, only because I did music for the company freelance, he was awesome, we had a great interaction, and shared a lot of country humor, I'm a smartass, but he definitely gave me a run for my money so to speak, it was a non-stop barrage of one-liners and hilarious for everyone watching, a truly wonderful man

@heatherbell2342

Awesome!!!
