Johnny Horton：Meaning of Everytime I'm Kissing You Songmeaning

The song "Everytime I'm Kissing You" by Johnny Horton is a sad ballad about a person who discovers their partner cheating on them with a friend. The narrator comes home to find their partner in the arms of someone else and regrets not leaving them when they witnessed the first kiss. The partner apologizes and tries to make amends, asking for forgiveness. However, every time the narrator kisses their partner, they can't help but think about them kissing the other person. Even though the partner claims it didn't mean anything and blames the narrator for the situation, the harm caused by the betrayal remains. The song paints a picture of the narrator's ongoing struggle to move on from the pain caused by the infidelity. They question why they didn't leave when they had the chance and now find it difficult to trust their partner fully. The lyrics reflect the internal conflict and constant reminder of the cheating every time they are intimate with their partner.
