One More Kiss
Meat Loaf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

At sunset you hear the soft parade is coming
And the cars and the beast behind, they all start humming
And ooh you got a cool machine, so let's get it runnin'
We'll break the silence of the night and you know they're gonna hear us comin'

We always see them whisper, we know they're gonna talk
They fantasize the mysteries 'bout the night and the dark
So baby one more kiss, baby one more kiss, we never have to say goodbye
Oh one more kiss, baby one more kiss, it brings a little luck to the night

Artists got their easels, they're ready on the mark
Gonna try and take the pictures of the dust and the gold in the sparks
And ooh you got a cool machine, baby let's get it runnin'
You never looked so good before and you know your time it's finally comin'

'Cause our home is the wind, you know we're gods of the mornin'
Champions of the night, when the engines are rumblin'
Our home is the wind, you know we're gods of the mornin'
Champions of the night, when the engines are rumblin'

So just one more kiss, baby one more kiss, we never have to say goodbye
One more kiss, baby one more kiss, I never want to see you cry
One more kiss, baby one more kiss, it brings a little luck to the night
One more kiss, baby one more kiss, we never have to say goodbye

(Ready, ready to roll, ready, ready to roll, ready, ready to roll, ready)

Under my foot gonna hit it down, take this stance before the crowd
Sleepin' city urban fall, summer's sadness time to answer the call

(Cool machine, get it runnin', ready to roll)

Soft hands around my neck, one more kiss then it's time to connect
Leave this child, leave me all alone, this one's mine and I'm takin' it home

(Ready, ready, ready to roll)

This one's mine and I'm takin' it home

Now behind closed walls new histories start to rise
Of the soft parade and the heroes where they lie
And ooh you got a cool machine, baby let's get it runnin'
You never looked so good before and you know your time it's finally comin'

'Cause our home is the wind, you know we're gods of the mornin'
Champions of the night, when the engines are rumblin'
Our home is the wind, you know we're gods of the mornin'
Champions of the night, when the engines are rumblin'

(One more kiss, one more kiss, one more kiss, one more kiss)
(One more kiss, one more kiss)
It brings a little luck, brings a little luck to the night
(One more kiss, one more kiss)
Ooh one more kiss




One more kiss, baby one more kiss, we never have to say goodbye
And ooh you got a cool machine, baby let's get it runnin'

Magic from the 80's brought to you with the power of Meat Loaf.

@kayfoster6504

Love this song 😍

@mcalvrd6110

I love the change in the tempo of the song in the middle by 2:30, it seems like a different song, it reminds me the (almost Beatle) song by L. Ritchie, " Say You, Say Me". The change goes with the scene depicted in the tittle and the nature of choreography on stage. Cool.

@Managerus

This song, pure 80ts magic indeed... SO GOOD.

@wjrmyop

Seeing him Wednesday in London stoked!

@ericcholminski1321

NO idea what was in their heads when they placed that rocking middle in there, which really takes away what is otherwise a very pretty sounding ballad

@MetalheadAt15

I heard this song just after my boyfriend and I broke up, and I love it!

@LaMortesAbyss

Haven't heard this Meat Loaf song before. I think I could have done without the rocky interlude in the middle. I really loved the rest of it though.
