Kiss This by Aaron Tippin

She was a woman on a mission
Here to drown him and forget him
So I set her up again to wash him down
She had just about succeeded
When that low-down no good cheatin'
Good for nothin' came struttin' through the crowd
Ah he was layin' it on so thick
He never missed a lick
Professing his never ending love
Oh but I never will forget
When she stood up and said
So I guess you think we're just gonna kiss and make up doncha
That's when she said..

(Chorus) Why don't you kiss, kiss this
And I don't mean on my rosy red lips
and me and you
     (me and you)
we're through
     (we're through)
And there's only one thing left for you to do
You just come on over here one last time
Pucker up and close yours eyes
And kiss this goodbye

Well the next thing I recall
She had him back against the wall
Chewin' him like a bulldog on a bone
She was puttin' him in his place
And I mean right up in his face
Draggin' him down a list of done me wrongs
Well it was just about now
That the crowd gathered 'round
They've come to watch him pay for his every sin
She called him everything under the sun
And when we thought that she was done
She rared back and she let him have it again, man
She said, she said...

(repeat chorus 2X)
     (See ya)



For those who don't know Aaron Tippin - this is a country song sung in a quick beat with a baritone voice.

I love this song and the meaning behind it so much - I've taken it on as my screen name since 2001..

This songs has two meanings as I see it.

The first is a very empowering song for any women getting out or hoping to get out of a domestic violence relationship. The gal in this story is putting an end to the cycle of abuse. Anyone considering such should put this song on and hit the 'auto repeat' button on their CD player.

When my girlfriend was ending an abusive relationship - and the abuser kept calling her answering machine - I put the following part of that song as her 'greet'. After a 3rd time of listening to this he stopped calling her.

Why don't you kiss, kiss this
And I don't mean on my rosy red lips
Me and you, we're through
And there's only one thing left for you to do
You just come on over here one last time
Pucker up and close yours eyes
And kiss this goodbye

The second meaning that I hear in this song is about life in general and the decision that anyone who wishes to use and abuse you, can kiss your ass. You've had enough, your done and you have no intention of putting up with it anymore. This song can be very inspiring for someone ready to take this route in life.

Kiss This, was co-written with his wife Thea after a spat the two of them had had, it was nominated for the Academy of Country Music award for single of the year in 2001.
