On Your Lips
John King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby you can ask my friends
I can be a doctor or a lawyer or a preacher
Just like my momma says
But girl tonight
My future's looking bright
I think I finally found
Staring back at me in the neon light
If I can be anything
I wanna be the drink
In your hand when you take a sip
Every word on and off your candy lip gloss
When your favorite song kicks in
Every little whisper
Long slow kiss
If I could be anything
I wanna be the next thing on your lips
I could be the driver
You the shotgun rider
In a truck that drives you around
I could be the one
That shows you all the roads
That nobody knows about
But, all that baby's just a maybe later on
Right now the only thing I really wanna do
Is get get just a little bit closer to you
If I can be anything
I wanna be the drink
In your hand when you take a sip
Every word on and off your candy lip gloss
When your favorite song kicks in
Every little whisper
Long slow kiss
If I could be anything
I wanna be the next thing on your lips
Oh, come on
If I can be anything
I wanna be the drink
In your hand when you take a sip
Every word on and off your candy lip gloss
When your favorite song kicks in
Every little whisper
Long slow kiss
If I could be anything
I wanna be the next thing on your lips
Yeah, on your lips
I wanna be the next thing on your lips
Yeah, on your lips
Come one girl
The song "On Your Lips" by John King is a romantic ballad that expresses the desire of a man to be the next thing on the lips of his love interest. The song is a declaration of love and a yearning to be intimately involved with the person he loves. The song begins by expressing that he can become a star on a football field, a doctor, a lawyer, or a preacher, but his future is looking bright with his newfound love interest. The neon light reflects his vision of his future with her. The chorus of the song reflects his desire to be everything and anything to her, but most importantly, he wants to be the drink in her hand, the words on her lip gloss, and the long, slow kiss that she desires.
The second verse of the song speaks of his desires to show her all the roads that nobody knows about. He wants to drive her around and be the shotgun rider for her. However, he realizes that these desires can wait, and his primary focus is to get closer to her. His desires to be everything to her intensify, as he wants to be the next thing on her lips. The song ends with a plea for her to come on and let him be the next thing on her lips.
