Kisses on the Wind

About Kisses on the Wind

"Kisses on the Wind" is the third single released from Swedish singer Neneh Cherry's debut album Raw Like Sushi. Like many songs on the album, "Kisses on the Wind" refers to Cherry's schooldays; the song is about a girl who matures before the other girls do, and as a result, she is the first to draw boys' attentions. It peaked within the top 10 in Finland, New Zealand, and Switzerland and just reached the top 20 in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 20. In the United States, it peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100. "Kisses on the Wind" is one of many songs containing the sample "What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back, back into time" from the intro of the 1972 single "Troglodyte" by the Jimmy Castor Bunch. more »

What we're gonna do is go back, way back into time.
 
Down this wild street walks, walks a child with no trace
Of ever being as young as her sister is.
A local neighbourhood crush, the boys would hide out and watch 
Her hanging washing on the line, all the time.
More like a woman, she talks like one.
She was the first girl, she was the first girl, to turn the boys on.
 
Boys, boys, wrapped around her finger, so young.
Making love was only dreaming, this girl, she's got another story.
When they are gone she blows them kisses on the wind.
 
At the corner shop, halfway down the block,
All the radios pumping to the way she walks, 
Past the flyboys art, where her name's engraved.
Sweet Liberty is what it says.
More like a woman, she dress like one.
She was the first girl, she was the first girl, to turn the boys on.
 
Boys, boys, wrapped around her finger, so young.
Making love was only dreaming, this girl, she's got another story.
When they are gone she blows them kisses on the wind.
 
The price of puberty's got a way of showing, it doesn't come in easy stages.
Her mother's face in the pot, she won't ever leave it.
She needs a bell to ring the changes.
More like a woman she walks like one.
She was the first girl, she was the first girl, to turn the boys on.
 
Boys, boys, wrapped around her finger, so young.
Making love was only dreaming, this girl, she's got another story.
When they are gone she blows them kisses on the wind.
 
Boys, boys, wrapped around her finger, so young.
Making love was only dreaming, this girl, she's got another story.
When they are gone she blows them kisses on the wind.
 
Boys, boys, wrapped around her finger, so young.
Making love was only dreaming, this girl, she's got another story.
When they are gone she blows them kisses on the wind.
 
Boys, boys, wrapped around her finger, so young.
Making love was only dreaming, this girl, she's got another story.
When they are gone she blows them kisses on the wind.
