i get a kick out of you

my story is much too sad to be told

but practically everything leaves me totally cold

the only exception i know is a case

when i'm out on a quiet spree

fighting vainly the old ennui

then i suddenly turn and see

your fabulous face

i get no kick from champagne

mere alcohol doesn't move me at all

so tell me why should it be true

that i get a kick out of you

i get no kick from cocaine

i'm sure that if i took even one sniff

it would bore me terrifically too

yet i get a kick out of you

i get a kick everytime i see you standing there

before me

i get a kick though it's clear to see

you obviously do not adore me

i get no kick in a plane

flying too high with some gal in the sky

is my idea of nothing to do

but i get a kick out of you
