American Kissing (Smooth Jazz)
|
|
|
|
|
Jazzy vocal humming...
VERSE
I've been all around the world
Kissed all kinds of girls, loved them all
Still I've gotta say, of all the lips I've kissed
The only lips I've missed are back in the USA
VERSE
Every kiss is quite unique
Some are short and sweet
Some are passionate and lingering
Some are red hot
But wherever these roads may wind
Have I been trying to find something I've already got?
PRE-CHORUS
And now I know there's just one kind of kissing for me
First CHORUS
What I've been missing is American kissing
And, of course, there's nothing French about that
French kissing is just fine, but when your lips touch mine
I purr like a Siamese cat
VERSE
Sometimes when you leave home
Destinations unknown
Thinking something more is out there to find
Expectations not coming true
I just kept thinking of you
And the American kissing I left behind
SOLO/Repeat First CHORUS/Second CHORUS
There's at least a touch of bliss in every kind of kiss
But for me not just any kiss will do
Like a moth to a flame, there's a fire I just can't tame
When I'm American kissing, oooh, with you
TAG
Just you and me, girl, American kissing

Story Behind the Song:
When the term "French kissing" came to my mind for some reason, I wondered, given that we all know what French kissing means, how one might define "American kissing." So one night I proposed the hook as a co-write to my collaborator Jon Ingram (@60 songs together). This was the result. Please see below.
