Cyndi Lauper's song "I'll Kiss You" tells the story of a person who visits a local gypsy in search of a love potion. Despite previous failures with love potions, they decide to try "number 9" in hopes of finding true love. The potion causes them to feel dizzy and become infatuated with someone, to the point where they are determined to kiss them without hesitation. The lyrics suggest a sense of desperation and urgency in the pursuit of love, as the protagonist is willing to take risks and ignore caution in order to express their feelings. The gypsy's warnings about the effects of the potion serve as a cautionary tale, as the protagonist becomes consumed by their desire for the other person. Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of passion and recklessness in matters of the heart, with a focus on the unpredictability and intensity of romantic feelings. The repeated refrain of "I'll kiss you" emphasizes the protagonist's determination and single-minded focus on their pursuit of love.
