Stuart Marty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got one last chance to hold you
While the fire is good and hot
We've got to make the most of this burning love
'Cause right now's all we've got
So squeeze me a little tighter
I'll be back before too long
Well baby you know I've just gotta go
So kiss me, I'm gone

Honey that spell, that you put on me
Got me walkin', talkin' things that I never dreamed
I won't be worth a thing when I get back home
I done stayed too long
So kiss me, I'm gone

You've got kisses sweet as honey
Got me eating right out of your hand
You sure 'nuff got a line of talk
That a man can understand

All the girls around here been talkin'
Wonderin' just what's going on
As the door slams, I am deep in love
So kiss me, I'm gone

Honey that spell, that you put on me
Got me walkin', talkin' things that I never dreamed
I won't be worth a thing when I get back home




I done stayed too long
So kiss me, I'm gone

He acknowledges that the passion between them is strong and he wants to savour it while he still can.

The chorus of the song “Kiss me, I’m gone” is repeated throughout and indicates that he wants his lover to kiss him as a way of symbolising the love they hold for each other while he departs.

It is clear that the passion they have shared and the physical relationship they have developed between each other has left him feeling like he cannot resist her. The lyrics ‘I won't be worth a thing when I get back home, I done stayed too long’ suggest that he knows he should have left already, but he has been seduced by his lover and drawn into the passion.


In summary, the lyrics of “Kiss Me I’m Gone” by Stuart Marty talk about a relationship where two people are entwined in a passion that leads to their separation. The singer wants to hold onto that passion until the last possible moment and the repetition of the chorus indicates that he wants his lover to know how much she means to him when he has to go.

Connie,got inducted into the Hall Of Fame,last year-2012,along with Garth Brooks,and Country Musician "Pig"Robbins. Now it's Marty's turn. They need to induct 5,or 6, a year,like the Rock-n-Roll hall of Fame,not 3, a year. Enternainers,likely,will die,before they get inducted,and it doesn't mean nothing to them,if they're dead.
