I Get a Kick out of You
Savoring Life's Thrills: Exploring the Joys Beyond Champagne
Lyrics
I get no kick from champagne
I do not find excitement or pleasure in champagne.
Mere alcohol it doesn't move me at all
Alcohol, in general, does not evoke any emotional response in me.
So tell me why should it be true
Questioning why it should be the case.
That I get a kick out of you
Despite the lack of enthusiasm for alcohol, there is a sense of excitement or pleasure derived from someone.
Some get a kick from cocaine
Contrasting with the previous lines, acknowledging that some find pleasure in cocaine.
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
Speculating that even a small exposure to cocaine would not be interesting to the speaker.
It would bore me terrifically, too
Expectation that cocaine would be equally uninteresting.
Yet I get a kick out of you
Despite the lack of interest in cocaine, there is a sense of excitement or pleasure derived from someone.
I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
Expressing excitement each time the person is seen.
I get a kick though it's clear to see you obviously don't adore me
Acknowledging that the person being observed may not reciprocate the feelings.
I get no kick in a plane
No excitement is derived from being in a plane.
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Disinterest in flying high with a romantic partner in the sky.
Is my idea of nothing to do
Expressing that this scenario holds no interest for the speaker.
Yet I get a kick out of you
Despite the disinterest in flying, there is a sense of excitement or pleasure derived from someone.
I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
Reiteration of the excitement felt when the person is seen.
I get a kick though it's clear to see you obviously do not adore me
Acknowledging that the person being observed may not reciprocate the feelings, rephrased from line 11.
I get no kick in a plane
No excitement is derived from being in a plane.
Flying too high with some gal (guy) in the sky
Disinterest in flying high with a romantic partner in the sky, rephrased from line 14.
Is my idea of nothing to do
Expressing that this scenario holds no interest for the speaker, rephrased from line 15.
Yet I get a kick, yes
Reaffirmation of the speaker getting a kick out of the person despite other disinterests.
I get a kick, yes
Repetition of the affirmation.
I get a kick... out of you
Continued emphasis on finding pleasure or excitement in the person despite other factors.
