I Get a Kick Out of You
Intoxicating Revelry: Unveiling the Allure Beyond Libations
Lyrics
My story is much too sad to be told
Expresses a reluctance to share a sad personal story.
But practically everything leaves me totally cold
Almost everything fails to evoke emotions.
The only exception I know is the case
An exception exists, referring to a specific situation.
When I'm out on a quiet spree
Describes being on a calm, leisurely outing.
Fighting vainly the old ennui
Struggling against boredom or dissatisfaction.
And I suddenly turn and see
Notices something wonderful unexpectedly.
Your fabulous face
Addresses the beauty of the person being observed.
I get no kick from champagne
Doesn't find enjoyment in champagne.
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
Alcohol, in general, fails to excite or please.
So, tell me, why should it be true
Raises a question about the paradoxical enjoyment of someone's company.
That I get a kick out of you?
Ponders the reason for finding joy in the person mentioned.
Some get a kick from cocaine
Contrasts with those who find pleasure in cocaine.
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
Speculates that even a small exposure to cocaine would not interest the speaker.
That would bore me terrifically too
Asserts that such stimulants would be dull and uninteresting.
Yet I get a kick out of you
Despite this, there's enjoyment derived from the person.
I get a kick every time I see
Derives joy each time the person is seen.
You're standing there before me
Highlights the pleasure when the person is present.
I get a kick though it's clear to see
Despite apparent lack of reciprocation, the speaker finds joy.
You obviously do not adore me
Acknowledges the absence of adoration from the person.
I get no kick in a plane
No pleasure in flying or extravagant experiences.
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Finds such experiences unfulfilling.
Is my idea of nothing to do
Idle activities are unsatisfying.
But I get a kick out of you
Despite this, there's joy derived from the person.
