Kris & Rita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you know the song I mean?
It don't always sound the same
But it's always good to sing
Maybe it don't mean a thing
It's a pretty little tune
It's a song I'd like to sing
And we can get to know each other
Like a sister and a brother
Like a father and a mother
Like a woman and a man
We can sing along together
Just enjoying till it's over
It don't need to last forever
If we want it to, it can

The singer acknowledges that maybe the song doesn't mean much, but it's a pretty little tune that they would love to sing with someone else.

The singer imagines getting to know their partner like a sister and brother, a father and mother, or a woman and a man.
