Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't have to be beautiful
To turn me on
I just need your body baby
From dusk till dawn
You don't need experience
To turn me out
You just leave it all up to me
I'm gonna show you what it's all about

You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your

Kiss,
Oh oh

You got to not talk dirty, baby
If you want to impress me
You can't be to flirty, mama
I know how to undress me, yeah
I want to be your fantasy
Maybe you could be mine
You just leave it all up to me
We could have a good time

Don't have to be rich

Act your age, mama (not your shoe size)
Not your shoe size
Maybe we could do the twirl
You don't have to watch Dynasty
To have an attitude

My love will be your food
Yeah

You don't have to be rich

Kiss

Overall Meaning

The Revolution's song "Kiss" is a playful and seductive tune that seeks to convey that physical attraction is not entirely dependent on conventional beauty or status-based criteria. The opening lines, "You don't have to be beautiful/To turn me on," suggests that the singer's desires are not tied to physical perfection, thereby challenging the typical notion that attractiveness is determined by societal standards of beauty. The singer's proclamation, "I just need your body baby/From dusk till dawn" reveals his motivation: he wants a partner with whom he can connect and have fun.


The lyrics show that the singer is open-minded and doesn't hold any biases based on age or social status. "Don't have to be rich/To be my girl" suggests that he's not interested in wealth or status, and "Women not girls rule my world" (later changed to "Lips not sticks") indicates that he's looking for a mature woman who can hold her own. The singer's desire for someone who is not pretentious, who can just be herself, is reflected in the lines, "You don't have to watch Dynasty/To have an attitude/You just leave it all up to me/My love will be your food."


Overall, "Kiss" is a celebration of physical attraction and sexual chemistry that challenges stereotypes about beauty and social status while emphasizing the importance of respect, open-mindedness, and mutual pleasure in romantic relationships.

inspectorbudget Here are the lyrics, basically a silly argument skit. "
Woman overboard, everybody on the groundย 
10 toes goinโ€™ up, 10 toes goinโ€™ downย 
Got the gun pointinโ€™ at โ€˜chaย 
Weโ€™re never gonna cut our hairย 
(Come here, let me cut that hair) No!ย 

Gotta, gottaย 
(My body wanna tell U 2 take control)ย 
(This way 2 this purple soul)ย 

Oh, pretty mama, I think I wanna rideย 
Sophie, 4 Godโ€™s sake
If U touch the television, Iโ€™ll kill U Sophieย 

Sol, can U please change the channel 4 Godโ€™s sake?ย 
I donโ€™t care, leave it alone, sit down!ย 
I canโ€™t stand David Letterman, he looks like a bankerย 


U donโ€™t have 2 watch Dynasty 2 have an attitudeย 
Leave it all up 2 me, my love will be, will be your foodย 
Everybody will have short hairย 
Letโ€™s cut it, mama! (Pretty mama)ย 
I think I wanna rideย 
Put the daddy in the front seat, me and the girl outsideย 
I just want your extra time and your ..... kissย 

Oh my God, isnโ€™t that Prince on television, Sol? {fade out}ย 
OK Sophie, itโ€™s obviousย 
No, wait a minute, I bought this televisionย 
Whyโ€™d... why U ruin it 4 me 4 Godโ€™s sake?ย 
Is he the strangest lookinโ€™ thing Uโ€™ve ever seen or what?ย 
U wanna talk strange Sophie? OK, let's talk strangeย 
Sol, donโ€™t U touch that channel!ย 
Leave it alone, Sol!ย 
Sophie, Uโ€™re strange, Iโ€™m changinโ€™ the channelย 
Sol, do U... do U value your life?ย 
Sit down Sol!"

I don't understand how someone can be so feminine, so masculine andย so sexy all at the same time.
