Kiss Me Deadly
Lita Ford Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴I went to a party last Saturday night
I didn't get laid I got in a fight uh-huh
It ain't no big thing
Late for my job and the traffic was bad
Had to borrow 10 bucks from my old man uh-huh
It ain't no big thing

I went to a party last Saturday night

I told you that story would be alright uh-huh
It ain't no big thing

But I know what I like
I know I like dancing with you
And I know what you like
I know you like dancing with me oh yeah

Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
Come on pretty baby kiss me deadly

Had a few beers getting high
Sitting watching the time go by uh-huh
It ain't no big thing
Nothing to eat and no T.V.
Looking in the mirror don't get it for me uh-huh
It ain't no big thing

But I know what I like
I know I like dancing with you
And I know what you like
I know you like dancing with me oh yeah

Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
Come on pretty baby kiss me deadly

Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
Come on pretty baby kiss me deadly

You know I like dancing with you
Dancing with you, come on

Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
Come on pretty baby kiss me deadly

Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
Come on pretty baby kiss me

Come on pretty baby kiss me
Come on pretty baby kiss me deadly


Overall Meaning

Lita Ford’s “Kiss Me Deadly” is a song about a wild Saturday night. The singer went to a party and got in a fight, but that’s not a big deal. They were late for work the next day and had to borrow money from their father, but that’s not a big deal either. The only thing that really matters to the singer is dancing with the person they like, which is indicated in the repetition of the chorus. The repetition of the chorus is also significant because it emphasizes the importance of the physical interaction between the singer and their dance partner. The song’s most memorable lines are “Kiss me once, kiss me twice / come on pretty baby kiss me deadly,” which make it clear that the singer wants to be physically close to their dance partner.


Overall, “Kiss Me Deadly” is a song about prioritizing pleasure and enjoyment in the moment. The singer is not worried about the consequences of their action and instead wants to live in the moment of being close to their dance partner. The song is thematically similar to other ‘80s rock and metal songs that prioritize hedonism and living for the moment. The song’s upbeat and energetic tempo, combined with its unapologetic lasciviousness, make “Kiss Me Deadly” a classic hard rock tune.
