Special Sauce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You gonna get yourself in trouble
Your true love will leave you
You did wrong that's why she said so long
Boy'd you find another girlfriend
It seemed to be last night
I mean the sweetest little songbird
A sweet sugar momma that's alright
With that look in her eye
Oh don't you miss her voice
I miss her and her mind
So don't kiss and don't tell
You gonna get yourself in trouble
Your true love will leave you
You did wrong that's why she said so long
I could only gets her back in my arm
My cold cold heart will surely melt
But then I threw it all away
Why the messin' round and a tellin'
So don't kiss and don't tell
You gonna get yourself in trouble
Well, your true love will leave you
You did wrong that's why she said so long
Oh all these fine women
They know whats going on
Man you thought that you was all alone
But she could tell by the moon
That she won't go by soon
No no no no
The lyrics to Special Sauce's song Kiss and Tell are a warning to anyone who engages in kiss and tell. The singer warns that if one kisses and tells, they will get themselves into trouble and their true love will leave them. The song begins with the singer seemingly addressing a man who has cheated on his girlfriend and found someone else. The singer tells him that he shouldn't have kissed and told because it is the reason his girlfriend left him. The man should have been satisfied with the look in his girlfriend's eye, but he wasn't and now she's gone.
Later in the song, the singer becomes reflective while thinking about his own situation. He talks about wanting his ex-girlfriend back, but knowing he messed up by kissing and telling. He knows that if he could only get her back in his arms, his heart would melt, but he threw it all away by messing around and telling. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that there are many other women out there who know what's going on, and that the man in the song thought he was all alone, but the singer knows otherwise.
Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the consequences of kiss and tell. It is a warning that if you engage in that behavior, you will lose your true love and potentially miss out on what could have been a great relationship.

Still as bluesy as ever. I like that harmonica solo. And all three original members are still together and making music. Good on them.

I heard this on a commercial for CMT's "Jammin' Country" in the 90's, but never knew who sang it, until 7 years ago, thanks to YouTube... since then, it's been in my iTunes library!
