Kiss
JoJo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Feeling like it's about that time
I've been all alone lately
Nobody in my bed
No one calling me baby
Something about tonight
Makes me want some company

I've been keeping on the low
But I look at you different
Curiosity, is there something that I'm missing?
Something about tonight
Got these full moon feels for real

Maybe it's the retrograde got me going crazy
I don't wanna couple up but I'm bored lately
You know I'm down for you
If there's something we can do
Let me know, know

I just want to kiss you
Not looking for a love
Know it's been a while since I had someone to touch
So come through
I'll push it to the edge
Playing with you, yeah
Then we go back to being friends
Like, ooh, ah, mm-mm, mm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)

Kinda feels like love
But without the attachment
If all we do is touch
I'll be fine if there's passion
We walking on the line
And we better not cross it, no, no

Maybe it's the retrograde got me going crazy (crazy)
I don't wanna couple up but I'm bored lately
You know I'm down for you
If there's something we can do
Let me know, know

I just want to kiss you
Not looking for love
Know it's been a while since I had someone to touch
So come through
I'll push it to the edge
Playing with you, yeah
Then we go back to being friends

Wanna kiss you
Not looking for love
Know it's been a while since I had someone to touch
So come through
I'll push it to the edge
Playing with you, yeah
Then we go back to being friends

To tell you the truth
It's not about you
I just need something brand new
It's not about you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I just want to kiss you (yeah)
Not looking for love
Know it's been a while since I had someone to touch
So come through
I'll push it to the edge
Playing with you, yeah
Then we go back to being friends

Wanna kiss you (kiss you)
Not looking for love
Know it's been a while since I had someone to touch
So come through (come through, baby)
I'll push it to the edge
Playing with you, yeah
Then we go back to being friends like





Back to being friends like, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Kiss" by JoJo depict a sense of longing and desire for companionship and physical connection. The singer is feeling isolated and lonely, yearning for someone to share intimate moments with. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and openness as the singer expresses a desire for company and a romantic spark on this particular night.


The singer acknowledges their recent solitude and lack of romantic involvement. There is a hint of curiosity and quest for something new and exciting in their life. The mention of the full moon adds an element of mystery and heightened emotions to the scenario, as if the natural forces are influencing their feelings towards a potential connection.


Despite feeling apprehensive about forming a deep emotional attachment and commitment, the singer is drawn to the idea of physical intimacy and passion. The lyrics suggest a willingness to explore a casual relationship with someone, without the expectation of a serious commitment. The mention of the retrograde astrological phenomenon and boredom creating a sense of restlessness further adds to the singer's mindset of seeking temporary solace and excitement.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's desire for a simple gesture of affection in the form of a kiss, without necessarily seeking love or a long-term relationship. The back and forth between wanting to push boundaries and then returning back to a friendly dynamic conveys a sense of emotional conflict and uncertainty within the singer. Ultimately, the need for a fresh experience and a break from routine is highlighted, suggesting a temporary escape from reality through physical connection. The lyrics convey a mix of emotions ranging from longing and curiosity to a desire for novelty and reconnection.
