Song Meaning of “Throwing Kisses” by Bob Luman
This song seems to be a story about a desperate young man trying to get the girl of his dreams to notice him. Despite the fact that she has a boyfriend, he still hopes that he can sway her affections away from that other man.
The first verse finds the narrator trying to throw her affectionate signs such as smiles and winks, but she only turns away coldly. He then resorts to flattery, but this too goes ignored. The bridge finds him reflecting on why she might prefer her partner to him, yet remains undeterred and hopeful that his attempts will bear fruit ultimately.
The chorus of the song hints at the narrator’s determination to stay the course, regardless of the fact that she may still prefer another man to him. He is willing to keep sending her signs of his attention and admiration until he is finally able to win her over.
The ending of the song suggests that, eventually, his persistence pays off and the girl begins to take notice of him, eventually becoming his own beautiful bird, as the lyrics suggest. The song captures the story of a romantic pursuit through the lens of young, innocent love, perhaps connoting that at times perseverance and true dedication can pay off.
