Kiss
glee and Gwyneth Paltrow Lyrics


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 on
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

You got to not talk dirty, baby, if you wanna impress me
You can't be too flirty, mama, I know how to undress me
I want to be your fantasy, maybe you could be mine
You just leave it all up to me and we could have a good time

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, I think I wanna dance
Gotta, gotta
Little girl Wendy parade
Gotta, gotta, gotta

Women, not girls, rule my world, I said they rule my world
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
You just leave it all up to me, my love will be your food

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

Overall Meaning

The song "Kiss" by Prince, which was later covered by Gwyneth Paltrow on the television show Glee, is a song about the power of physical attraction and the desire for a passionate, temporary relationship. The lyrics suggest that looks and money do not matter as much as chemistry and physical attraction, and that the singer is confident that he can provide an enjoyable experience for the other person. The song explicitly mentions the need for consent and mutual enjoyment, emphasizing that both parties should have a good time together.


The lyrics also play with societal expectations of gender roles and behavior, suggesting that the singer prefers assertive, confident women who act their age rather than playing into stereotypical roles. The line "You don't have to watch Dynasty to have an attitude" suggests that the singer is attracted to women who are independent and strong-willed, rather than passive and submissive.


As performed by Gwyneth Paltrow on Glee, the song takes on a playful, upbeat tone that emphasizes the fun and flirty nature of the lyrics. Paltrow's vocals are light and airy, while the arrangement features funky guitar riffs and a danceable beat.
