Knock Me a Kiss
Indulgent Desires: Taste of Love in "Knock Me a Kiss" by Jimmy Rushing
Lyrics
I like cake,
I enjoy cake.
And no mistake.
Affirming the enjoyment of cake without any doubt.
But, baby, if you insist,
However, if you insist,
I'll cut out cake
I will give up eating cake for you.
Just for your sake.
I am willing to sacrifice cake for your sake.
Baby, come on,
Encouraging the partner with affectionate words.
Knock me a kiss.
Requesting a kiss.
I like pie.
I also like pie.
I hope to die.
An exaggerated expression emphasizing a strong liking for pie.
Just get a load of this,
Take note of this situation,
When you get high,
When you are intoxicated,
Doggone the pie.
Disregard the pie.
Baby, come on,
Reiterating the desire for a kiss.
Knock me a kiss.
Requesting a kiss again.
When you press your lips to mine,
When our lips meet,
'Twas then I understood.
Realization dawns on me.
They taste like candy, brandy and wine,
They taste like a delightful mix of candy, brandy, and wine,
Peaches, bananas, and everything good.
Including peaches, bananas, and other pleasant flavors.
I love jam,
I have a fondness for jam,
And no flim-flam,
Without any deception.
Scratch that off my list.
Remove that from my preferences,
This ain't no jam,
This is not jam,
The jam can scram.
Rejecting the idea of jam.
Baby, come on,
Inviting the partner for a kiss.
Knock me a kiss.
Expressing the desire for a kiss once more.
When you press your sweet little lips to mine,
Reiteration of the delightful taste when lips meet.
Then I understood, oh babe.
Understanding the sweetness and joy.
They taste like candy, brandy and wine,
Recapitulation of the flavors experienced.
Peaches, bananas, and everything good.
Highlighting the diverse and pleasing tastes.
I love jam,
Expressing love for jam again,
And no flim-flam.
Without any deceit or trickery.
Scratch that off my list.
Removing jam from the preferences.
This ain't no jam,
This is not jam,
The jam can scram.
Rejecting the idea of jam once more.
Baby, come on,
Inviting the partner for a kiss.
Knock me a kiss.
Reiterating the request for a kiss.
Knock me a kiss
Final plea for a kiss.
