Kiss On My List
DARYL HALL＆JOHN OATES Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What can I say
I don't feel the need to give such secrets away
You think maybe I need help, no, I know that I'm right
I'm just better off not listening to friends' advice
When they insist on knowing my bliss
I tell them this
I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist
(Because your kiss) is what I miss when I turn on the lights
I go crazy wondering what there is to really see
Did the night just take up your time, 'cause it means more to me
Sometimes I forget what I'm doing, I don't forget what I want
Regret what I've done, regret you, I couldn't go on
And if you insist on knowing my bliss
I'll tell you this
If you want to know what the reason is
I'll only smile when I lie, then I'll tell you why
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist
(Because your kiss) is what I miss when I turn on the lights
I really miss you babe
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist
(Because your kiss) is what I miss when I turn on the lights
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
In this classic 80s pop song, Daryl Hall & John Oates sing about the power of a kiss from the person they love. The lyrics speak to the fact that sometimes our own happiness and desires don't make sense to others, but that doesn't mean they aren't important. The singer describes how their friends don't understand their constant need to call the person they're in love with, but the singer knows that they don't have to explain themselves or give away their secrets. They believe they are right in following their heart.
The chorus, "Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life," is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the importance of that one intimate moment shared with their partner. The lyrics also express the feeling of longing for someone who may not be physically present, with lines like "I really miss you, babe," and wondering if the time together was meaningful to the other person.
Overall, the song speaks to the power of intimacy and the individual's right to follow their heart and desires, even if they may not make sense to others.
