Coconut Kiss
Niki & the Dove Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I payed my dues
And I don′t depend on nothing
Or none
I am a loner
All confused
Waiting for that rainy day
While I spend my time
Swinging in my palm tree
Cause I love coconuts
I'm drinking Coconut Kiss
And you don′t get to know me
You don't get to know me
Hey you, waiting for that blow
For that big fat fall
When mama's gonna get a wake up call?
Until then, I treat em coca
I treat em fries
Go put on your nice face, now
Go put on a nice face
Swinging in my palm tree
Cause I love coconuts
I′m drinking Coconut Kiss
And you don ′t get to know me
You don 't get to know me
I like to watch the world
The world is looking good today
It′s almost like I 'm sleeping
I pull my head back to the sun
Clean my house, from big fat flies
Dreaming of the big city
Clear my head, clean my bed
Dreaming of the big city
The big City

I am a loner

Not on anyone in particular or anything in particular
I am a loner
I prefer to be alone
All confused
I am feeling uncertain and lost
Waiting for that rainy day
I am expecting difficult times to come
While I spend my time
As I go about my days
Walking in the sunshine
I take pleasure in the simple things, like being outside in nice weather
Swinging in my palm tree
As I relax in my own way
Cause I love coconuts
I have found something that brings me joy and comfort
I'm drinking Coconut Kiss
I am indulging in the things that make me happy
And you don't get to know me
My private life is my own and I am not sharing it with anyone
Hey you, waiting for that blow
You who are expecting the worst
For that big fat fall
For the moment when everything comes crashing down
When mama's gonna get a wake up call?
When will the reckoning come for those who have wronged me?
Until then, I treat em coca
Until then, I indulge myself
I treat em fries
I indulge myself in activities that bring me pleasure
Go put on your nice face, now
Go act polite and pleasant, even if you don't feel like it

Clean my house, from big fat flies
I take care of my own responsibilities, no matter how unpleasant
Dreaming of the big city
I have aspirations and hopes for the future
Clear my head, clean my bed
I try to maintain a sense of order and cleanliness in my life
Dreaming of the big city
I have aspirations and hopes for the future
The big City
The future, the unknown, the possibilities
