I Get a Kick Out of You

I get no kick from Champagne;
Mere alcohol
Doesn't thrill me at all,
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you.

Some get a kick from cocaine;
I'm sure that if
I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrifically too.

Yet I get a kick out of you.

I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me -
I get a kick though it's patently clear that you obviously don't adore me.

I get no kick in a plane;
Flying too high
With some bird in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do.

Yet I get a kick out of you.

~ Cole Porter
