Kiss On My List Lyrics

Cover art for Kiss On My List lyrics by Hall and Oates

I have questions. If he doesn’t really like her why is he calling her all the time? If he doesn’t really like her then why does he say he wouldn’t regret her? Why does he say he misses her? It seems like he really does love her. So why would it be a lie for him to tell others that her kiss is on his list …. ? The only way the song could make sense is if he really loves her deeply, but he doesn’t want others to know that. So he makes up something about her kiss being so great, that way he doesn’t have to admit that he’s head over heels in love. …. But this isn’t how Darryl Hall explains it. What he says it contradictory to what the song actually says. So is it us that he’s lying to when he tries to blow off the song as some type of anti-love song? Or is he lying to himself?
