Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you talk they don't talk back
Believe in every word you say
But they don't know, they don't, don't know
Secrets that you just cant keep
Promises that you made me
You twisted it to suit yourself,
But now I know, I know, I know
Ooh you just smile and then you
Kiss and tell
Everything I say
Stuck inside your little web
Everybody wants to know, yeah
Lips that lie
Cover your track
Sold me out and
You just laugh
Say we're friends until the end, yeah, but you
Don't mean it
You don't mean it
You don't mean it, you don't mean it, no
I wish I could take it back
You want it all but you cant have that
People falling at your feet,
But they don't know, they don't, don't know
You're gonna figure out real soon
The dirty deeds will catch up to you
Its crumbling beneath your feet,
But you don't know, you don't, don't know
Ooh everything that I told you
Ooh you just smile and then you
Kiss and tell
Everything I say
Stuck inside your little web
Everybody wants to know, yeah
Lips that lie
Cover your track
Sold me out and
You just laugh
Say we're friends until the end, yeah, but you
Don't mean it
You don't mean it
You don't mean it, you don't mean it, no
Ooh everything that I told you
Ooh everything that I told you
Ooh you just smile and then you
Kiss and tell

The lyrics of "Kiss & Tell" by Selena Gomez & the Scene discuss a relationship where one person is not honest about their true feelings and intentions. The person seems charming and believable, but their words and promises are twisted to suit themselves. They sell out the other person and laugh it off as if they were never truly committed. However, the other person starts to catch on and realizes that they were lied to and used. They wish they could take back the trust and vulnerability they gave, but it is too late. Despite the other person's claims of being friends until the end, the singer knows that it isn't real and that they don't mean it.
The song is a cautionary tale about being careful who to trust and about the consequences of dishonesty in relationships. It highlights the pain and betrayal that can occur when someone is not honest about their feelings or intentions. The use of the metaphor of a spider's web is particularly effective in conveying the idea of being trapped and stuck in a toxic relationship.
