Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You could make me do anything right now
Oh babe, I'm a fly in your web
I'm tangled up in every word you just said
Oh girl when you walk like that, talk like that, look like that
I'm chained to your will
So honey come in for the kill
Don't just leave me like this
Just one kiss
(Mm yeah)
Babe, I'm your hostage in a chair
You got me tied up with your stare
I'm going nowhere
Oh babe, I'm macaroni stuck in glue
There must be gum on this shoe
I can't move
Oh girl when you walk like that, talk like that, look like that
I'm chained to your will
So honey come in for the kill
Come on closer baby, I'm goin' crazy, save me
Don't just leave me like this
Just one kiss
Well that's
Cause I've played by all your rules
And I'll just do something too
Babe, babe, babe, babe
Girl when you walk like that, talk like that, look like that
Girl when you walk like that, talk like that, look like that
I'm chained to your will
So honey come in for the kill
Come on closer baby, I'm goin' crazy, save me
Don't just leave me like this
Just one kiss
Just one kiss
Just one kiss, ooh yeah
In Jonathan Jackson's song "Kiss," the singer compares himself to a puppet on a string and a fly caught in a web, both imagery representing his powerlessness in the face of his love interest. He is chained to her will, and she has him tied up with just a stare. He pleads for her to save him with just one kiss, as he is going crazy in her spell. The singer has played by all of her rules, but he intends on doing something that will add dimension to their relationship.
The song captures the intense feeling of being infatuated with someone and feeling completely powerless in their presence. The language of chains and restraints underscores the power dynamic at play in the relationship, while the metaphor of a fly trapped in a web adds a sense of vulnerability and danger to the situation. The singer recognizes that he is stuck, and he pleads with his love interest for release - or, perhaps, for a deeper connection.
Overall, "Kiss" is a passionate love song that captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by another person's presence. It offers a sense of vulnerability and honesty that is both relatable and deeply emotional.
