An Unusual Kiss Lyrics
"my baby draws the shades as the taxi pulls away" couldn't this be the singer taking a taxi home after an illicit affair? She gets out of the taxi and looks up to see her lover pulling the shades closed--she's been waiting up. The person she was with so late has some explaining to do because she also has to go home to a lover or partner.
@jayboi I don’t think it’s about an affair. I think it’s about an open relationship that didn’t work out as planned/hoped. Perhaps”my baby” was waiting up for Melissa to get home from the person she was with because, what the hell, it’s an open relationship. The person that was going to have dome explaining to do could have been Melissa. Usually, the person that suggests the relationship be open is the one that can’t take it when their other half is actually with someone else. Thus, the reason “my baby” draws the shade once she knows Melissa is home. She...

Awesome song. Obviously, it's about a very tense excitement mixed with a little bit of fear about forbidden...acts. ;) I get the impression it's about a threesome ("We all wanted this") Am I the only one that thinks this? Either way, the blending of tension while letting go of inhibitions and sexual pleasure is a fascinating one to me. Awesome song.
@VegasJames-Hmmm, I never looked at it that way. (Threesome)
@VegasJames-Hmmm, I never looked at it that way. (Threesome)
@VegasJames-Hmmm, I never looked at it that way. (Threesome) I took “we all wanted this” to mean Melissa, her partner and the 2 women they are seeing in the open relationship.,

VegasJames: Nope, you\'re not. This lyric:
\"My baby (me=1, baby=2) draws the shades as the taxi (person who\'s got some \'splaining to do=3) pulls away\"
Pretty much settles THAT question. Hot, hot song.
I get from this song that it's about someone cheating on their lover. Say Melissa is the 'other woman'. So the cheater cheats on her lover with Melissa and then Melissa leaves as the other woman closes the shades.
Here's my take on this song...
It's about the results of an open relationship, and how in theory she thought it would work, but once confronted with the reality of it, her lover's kiss is now "unusual"...
Melissa has repeatedly denied explaining this song for years now, and the mystery around it makes people think it must have been about Julie Cypher maybe going back to men during their 10 yr relationship...This song also has a touch of "I can do it, you can't" feeling as well...
@beyondchance-Think her lovers kiss is unusual because she’s been kissing others?

If you read her book you'll understand it its about when she first started seeing julie cypher they were at julie's house and they ended up like making out but julie was still married to lou diamond phillips
Why wasn't this song released as a single! It's one of my favs from the album. What i got from the song was there was some heavy flirting which lead to the act that caught the two of them off guard.
i do agree i kinda see where it could be about a 3some. But alexriott it's about her and julie
I believe the song is about Melissa watching her partner have sex with another person. It’s pretty self explanatory if you break down the verses. \nVerse 1) she thought the person would go and then something touched her and she decides not to ask them to leave. 2) she doesn’t know how they got there she isn’t sure it it was spontaneous or perhaps something planned by her partner and their lover. chorus: sounds angry “ we all wanted this” but I don’t think she really did. 3) it’s all new the thrill of watching the forbidden view but her partner has so explaining to do perhaps the touches weren’t so new? 4) Melissa is begging her partner to look into her eyes. If we presume that Melissa is the one watching she is bothered that her partner is getting so into the other person. Then Melissa is saying she will all she has if that is what her lover wants her to try. Sounds like she is having second thoughts about this whole thing. 5) she has nothing left to say as her baby watches the taxi leave with the other person.
@jennifergy-I don’t think it’s about Melissa watching but Melissa knowing her lover is really into the other person. I get the feeling Melissa agreed to the open relationship but really didn’t want to and she ended up getting hurt. Maybe that’s why, as much as I love the song, it makes me a little sad.,
