Kissing You
Betty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like the stories you tell me
I like the way you think
I like the way you spend money
I like the beer you drink

But

I don't like
I don't like
I don't like
I don't like
I don't like kissing you

You
You
You

I like that you like my family
I like that you like my rules
I like that you like my glasses
I like that you like my tattoo

But

I don't like
I don't like
I don't like
I don't like
I don't like kissing you

You
You
You

I'm really sorry if I hurt your feelings
And if you never wanna see me again
Before you go can you do me a favor?
Introduce me to your best friend!

I don't like
I don't like
I don't like
I don't like
I don't like kissing you

Kissing you
Kissing you




Kissing
You!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Kissing You" by Betty appear to be contradictory in nature. The singer seems to like many things about the person she is addressing - the stories they tell her, the way they think, the way they spend money, the beer they drink, and even the fact that they like her family, rules, glasses, and tattoo. However, despite all of these positive attributes, the singer makes it clear that she does not like one particular thing - kissing the person.


It is not clear from the lyrics why the singer does not like kissing the person, but it could be interpreted that there simply is no chemistry or attraction between them. The repetition of the phrase "I don't like" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's unwillingness to engage in something she does not enjoy, despite enjoying many other aspects of the person she is addressing. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is willing to end things with the person she is addressing if necessary, but also has a sense of humor about the situation and is not taking things too seriously.


Overall, the lyrics of "Kissing You" are a playful exploration of the complexities of attraction and compatibility in relationships. The song highlights the importance of both physical and emotional connections in a relationship and the need for both to be present for a relationship to work.
