Kiss
Nashville Cast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Babe, I'm a puppet on a string
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
Come on closer baby, I'm going crazy, save me
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

Overall Meaning

The song "Kiss" by Jonathan Jackson is a passionate ballad about being completely entranced by the person you desire. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of how the object of his affection has complete control over him, whether it's through their movements ("when you walk like that, talk like that, look like that") or their words ("I'm tangled up in every word you just said").


The singer compares himself to a puppet on a string, a fly caught in a web, and a macaroni stuck in glue to illustrate the sense of powerlessness he feels. He begs for just one kiss, as it feels like the only way to break free from their spell. The last line, "Cause I've played by all your rules, and I'll just do something too", suggests that he's tired of feeling completely under their control and might have to take action to change the dynamic.


The song is filled with intensity and yearning, capturing the feeling of being completely overtaken by desire. Jackson's emotive vocals add to the sense of desperation, making it easy to feel swept up in the moment with him.
