Song Meaning of Kiss by Prince
One of the bands in Prince's Paisley Park sphere, Mazarati, requested him for a song, Prince quickly whipped up an acoustic bluesy demo for them.
To the dismay of his label, Mazarati added a funk rhythm, but Prince was wise enough to take the song back, keeping some of producer David Z's arrangements and the band's backing vocals but dropping the bass line.
But Prince had the authority at that time to say, 'That's the single and you're not getting another one until you put it out.' The rest, as Z said in an interview, is history. His career was completely revived by that song, and a year later Warner Bros. was looking to sign artists that sounded similar.
It was the lead single from his eighth studio album, Parade in 1986 and it was a No. 1 hit worldwide, holding the top spot of the US Billboard.
Song lyrics of Kiss by Prince
You don't have to be beautiful
To turn me on
I just need your body baby
From dusk till dawn
You don't need experience
To turn me out
You just leave it all up to me
I'm gonna show you what it's all about
You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your
[Muah muah muah muah muah]
Kiss
You got to not talk dirty, baby
If you wanna impress me
You can't be too flirty, mama
I know how to undress me (Yeah)
I want to be your fantasy
Maybe you could be mine
You just leave it all up to me
We could have a good time
You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your
[Muah muah muah muah]
Kiss
Yes
I think I wanna dance
Gotta, Gotta
Little girl Wendy's parade
Gotta, gotta, gotta
Women not girls rule my world
I said they rule my world
Act your age, mama (Not your shoe size)
Not your shoe size
Maybe we could do the twirl
You don't have to watch Dynasty
To have an attitude
You just leave it all up to me
My love will be your food
Yeah
You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your
Kiss
