My story is much too sad to be told,
but practically ev'rything leaves me totally cold.
the only exception i know is the case
where i'm out on a quiet spree
fighting vainly the old ennui
and i suddenly turn and see
your fabulous face.
I get no kick from champagne.
mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all,
so tell me why should it be true
that i get a kick out of you?
Some get a kick from cocaine.
i'm sure that if i took even one sniff
that would bore me terrific'ly too,
yet i get a kick out of you.
I get a kick ev'rytime i see
you're standing there before me.
i get a kick though it's clear to me
you obviously don't adore me.
I get no kick in a plane.
flying too high with some guy in the sky
is my idea of nothing to do,
yet i get a kick out of you.
