Kiss and Tell
The Breakfast Club Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time somebody says to me
It's a secret, well I have to laugh
'Cause that is something I just can't keep
It's a secret

Oh I've tried it once or twice
But it didn't work too well
So you'd better think it over
'Cause I'm gonna tell

La la la la la la oh oh
I'll kiss and tell
And everybody's' gonna know
La la la la la la oh oh
I'll kiss and tell
Gotta let my feelings show

'Cause they tell me it's gotta be a secret thing
It's no secret
Well, I've heard that before
And there is always someone waiting in the wings
It's no secret

So if there's somebody else on your mind
Then it's not gonna work too well
You would only be wasting your time
'Cause I'm gonna tell

La la la la la la oh oh
I'll kiss and tell
And everybody's' gonna know
La la la la la la oh oh
I'll kiss and tell
Gotta let my feelings show

Well, I'm not gonna get down to it
Until ya' make your mind up
So make your mind up,
Mind up
Mind up, call me up
'Cause I want to kiss and tell

If there's somebody else on your mind
Then it's not gonna work too well
You would only be wasting your time
'Cause I'm gonna tell

La la la la la la oh oh
I'll kiss and tell
And everybody's' gonna know
La la la la la la oh oh
I'll kiss and tell
Gotta let my feelings show

Well, I'm not gonna get down to it
Until ya' make your mind up
So make your mind up
Mind up
Mind up, call me up
'Cause I want to kiss and tell

La la la la la la oh oh
I'll kiss and tell
And everybody's' gonna know
La la la la la la oh oh




I'll kiss and tell
Gotta let my feelings show

Overall Meaning

In "Kiss and Tell", The Breakfast Club expresses their inability to keep secrets. They start by saying that they cannot laugh every time someone says that it's classified information, as they know they won't be able to restrain themselves from spreading the word. Even though they've tried it a few times, it's never worked out too well. They then proceed to tell us that they will kiss and tell; that they won't keep anything a secret. The singer says that they've heard the 'it's a secret' narrative too many times and that someone is still waiting in the wings. The person waiting in the wings could refer to the one who likes to spread rumors, which is why the singer is tired of keeping anything confidential.


The Breakfast Club advises their person of interest that if there is anyone else on their mind, they shouldn't bother as it won't work out well. They will wind up wasting their time if they try to be secretive because the singer will go ahead and tell anyone who will listen. They conclude by stating that they'll kiss and tell until their person of interest makes their mind up, repeatedly saying "mind up, call me up" as they wait for an answer.
