Hot Kiss
Juliette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hot kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
My love, you got me spinning like a wound up toy
Hot kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
My love, you got me spinning like a wound up toy

Oh, father, I pray to thee
I gotta man so blind I can't see
I'm his favorite toy like a beach ball
Play me up and down and throw me 'gainst the wall

"Oh, Tallulah", he said, "You're so dramatic
What's all that shakin' goin' on in your attic?"

Hot kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
My love, you got me spinning like a wound up toy
Hot kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
My love, you got me spinning like a wound up toy

You can't knock it or rock it or be-bop it, it's a itch you can't scratch
Nothing's gonna stop it, I'm a cheater, so ravenous
Waitin' on my man and his one hot kiss, I'm on the prowl
Sent my thunder hour after hour, break this spell I'm under

Hot kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
My love, you got me spinning like a wound up toy
Hot kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
My love, you got me spinning like a wound up toy

All my life, I've searched for you, all my life
All my life, I was searching for you

Spinnin' round the room and I can't sleep
Oh, you're little girl wants to

Hot kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
My love, you got me spinning like a wound up toy
Hot kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?
My love, you got me spinning like a wound up toy

Hot, hot, hot, love
Hot, hot, hot, love




Hot kiss, hot kiss
Hot kiss won't you tell me what you miss, boy?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Juliette and the Licks's song Hot Kiss convey a sense of vulnerability mixed with longing for romantic love. The singer is dizzy with the anticipation of a passionate kiss from her lover, symbolized by the repetition of the titular phrase "Hot Kiss, won't you tell me what you miss, boy?" She feels like a toy in his hands, to be played with and discarded at his whim. The second verse features a reference to the singer's father, to whom she prays for guidance in her troubled love life. Her lover is described as "blind" to her needs, and she is left feeling unsatisfied and restless. Despite her frustration, the girl keeps waiting for her man and his passionate kiss to break the spell she is under.


One interesting interpretation of this song is that the singer is struggling with her own identity and the power dynamics of her relationship. The repeated phrase "My love, you got me spinning like a wound up toy" could be read as a lament for the lack of agency she feels in her relationship. By calling herself a "cheater, so ravenous", she acknowledges that her attraction to this man seems to be leading her astray from who she wants to be. However, she can't deny the strong emotional pull he has over her, and so she holds out hope for his kiss to provide her with some sort of closure or resolution.

I never talked about liking any other girls when I was with my girlfriend now Ex other then Juliette Lewis I could not help it and my ex seen in my eyes when i seen her in movies I liked her.
She thought it was funny.
But I like Juliette so much and always have since childhood.
It’s her nature and attitude she is sassy but simple and cute as all hell.
My favourite movie with her would have to be Kalifornia the one with David Duchovny and Brad Pitt where Brad kills his landlord leaves with David’s character his lady and Brads lady Juliette Lewis.
But it gets crazy from there.
But I just thought she was so wonderful and I was so upset when she died it was terrible because I never thought she would.
But also when I found out she sang I was awestruck and just love watching her perform its great.
She is a doll and love her talent so much!!

Saw these guys live in Edinburgh years ago. Juliette rolled onto the stage in a skin tight red catsuit, blonde hair and a viking helmet. The band proceeded to tear the damn house down. Juliette finished the set with a stage dive.

I was in love.
