Cover art for An Unusual Kiss lyrics by Melissa Etheridge

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?
