I Get a Kick out of You
Finding Ecstasy Amidst Mundanity: "I Get a Kick out of You
Lyrics
My story is much too sad to be told
My life's narrative is too sorrowful to share openly.
But practically everything leaves me totally cold
Almost everything fails to evoke any strong emotions in me.
The only exception I know is the case
An exception to my emotional indifference is encountered when...
When I'm out on a quiet spree
Engaging in a calm, leisurely outing.
Fighting vainly the old ennui
Struggling in vain against the old weariness.
And I suddenly turn and see
Unexpectedly, I turn and catch sight of...
Your fabulous face
Your extraordinarily attractive face.
I get no kick from champagne
I derive no pleasure from champagne.
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
Alcohol in general fails to excite or interest me.
So tell me why should it be true
So, why is it the case...
That I get a kick out of you?
That I find delight and enjoyment in you?
Some get a kick from cocaine
Some find pleasure in cocaine.
I’m sure that if, I took even one sniff
I'm certain that even a single sniff would...
That would bore me terrifically too
Bore me tremendously as well.
Yet I get a kick out of you
Yet, strangely, I derive satisfaction from being with you.
I get a kick every time I see you
I experience joy every time I encounter you.
Standing there before me
Present in front of me.
I get a kick though it’s clear to me
I find pleasure despite the clear realization that...
You obviously do not adore me
You do not seem to have affection for me.
I get no kick in a plane
I do not derive any joy from traveling in an airplane.
Flying too high with some guy in the sky
Flying at high altitudes with someone in the sky...
Is my idea of nothing to do
Is my concept of having nothing worthwhile to do.
Yet I get a kick out of you
Nevertheless, I find pleasure in you.
