I Get a Kick Out of You
Thrilling Elegance: Discovering the Allure Beyond Champagne
Lyrics
My story is much to sad to be told
Expressing a reluctance to share a sad personal story.
But practically everything leaves me totally cold
Feeling indifferent or emotionally detached from almost everything.
The only exception I know is the case
Highlighting a rare exception when a particular situation stands out.
When I'm out on a quiet spree, fighting vainly the old ennui
Describing a struggle against a sense of weariness or boredom.
And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face
Finding joy and excitement upon unexpectedly seeing someone special.
I get no kick from champagne
Not deriving pleasure from champagne.
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
Indicating that alcohol, in general, fails to excite or please.
So tell me why should it be true
Pondering the reason for finding joy in a particular person.
That I get a kick out of you
Expressing the paradox of deriving pleasure from someone despite other preferences.
Some get a kick from cocaine
Comparing the lack of interest in cocaine despite potential effects.
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
Asserting that even a small exposure to cocaine would be uninteresting.
That would bore me terrifically too
Stating that cocaine would be boring.
But I get a kick out of you
Reaffirming the enjoyment derived from the person despite other potential stimuli.
I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
Expressing the thrill experienced when seeing the person.
I get a kick though it's clear to me, you obviously don't adore me
Acknowledging the awareness that the person may not reciprocate the feelings.
I get no kick in a plane, flying too high with some guy in the sky
Not finding excitement in conventional activities like flying in a plane.
Is my idea of nothing to do, yet I get a kick out of you
Highlighting the irony of finding joy in doing nothing when with the person.
I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
Reiterating the joy felt upon seeing the person.
I get a kick though it's clear to me, you obviously don't adore me
Acknowledging the lack of reciprocation from the person.
I get no kick in a plane, flying too high with some guy in the sky
Repeating the lack of excitement in flying in a plane.
Is my idea of nothing to do, yet I get a kick out of you
Emphasizing the pleasure derived from doing nothing with the person.
I get a kick out of you
Reaffirming the overall enjoyment derived from the person.
