Lick It Up

KISS

Don't want to wait 'til you know me better
Let's just be glad for the time together
Life's such a treat and it's time you taste it
There ain't a reason on earth to waste it
It ain't a crime to be good to yourself

Lick it up, lick it up, oh, it's only right now
Lick it up, lick it up, oh, ooh yeah
Lick it up, lick it up, oh, come on (come on)
Lick it up, lick it up, oh, ooh

Don't need to wait for an invitation
You gotta live like you're on vacation
There's something sweet you can't buy with money
Lick it up, woo, lick it up
It's all you need, so believe me, honey
It ain't a crime to be good to yourself

Lick it up, lick it up, oh, it's only right now
Lick it up, lick it up, oh, ooh yeah
Lick it up, lick it up, oh, come on (come on)
Lick it up, lick it up, oh, come on

It's only right now (it's only right now)
Ooh yeah (ooh yeah), ooh yeah (ooh yeah), yeah, yeah

Oh, woo

Lick it up, lick it up, oh, it's only right now
Lick it up, lick it up, oh, yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah)
Lick it up, lick it up, oh, come on (come on)
Lick it up, lick it up, oh, woo

Lick it up, lick it up, oh, yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah)
Lick it up, lick it up, oh

    Why don't they just get a paper towel and wipe it up?

    It's about living life to the fullest, not letting opportunities pass you by. Not about sex!

    The song is about hedonistic behavior, although I wouldn't dare bother intellectualize anything by KISS by commenting further. Entertaining song though...

    Yes it's about living life to the fullest.However,it's also about sex.Come on,"Lick It Up".If you need it explained to you then you have bigger problems than not getting it.

    ahhh, I remember listening to this while playing Tony Hawk UnderGround on the ps2, back then I was innocent and knew nothing about what it meant, it was just a song...now that I'm more grown up, I can't listen to this song without getting certain "images" in my head...btw, for those of you who haven't noticed, most of KISS's songs are about sex, i.e. Rock and Roll All Night, Lovegun,
