Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945 in Los Angeles, California) is an American singer-songwriter. She is noted for her distinctive, raspy voice which she attributes to many hours spent singing in smoky bars and clubs. Carnes was a member of New Christy Minstrels from 1966 until 1970. Kenny Rogers was also a member, and during this time Carnes met and married Dave Ellingson, with whom she would write most of her songs. For a short while in the early 1970s, she and Ellingson formed the folk duo Kim and Dave, which was not successful.

Kick In The Heart Lyrics
Kim Carnes
Mark Goldenberg)
The kiss is all, words mean nothing
Why don't we throw them away
Take my keys, love is waiting
Idling in the driveway
Today everybody is thinking about happiness
As easy to read as a cloud
But down here on earth I need just that one kiss
As easy to shape as I sound
When you love me - it's a kick in the heart
When you touch me you take me apart & apart & apart
When you kiss me - it's a kick in the heart
Close your eyes, here comes tomorrow
Do you still feel the same
Tell me just one thing I can be sure of
Tell me the rules of this game
Today everybody is thinking about happiness
Easy to reach as a cloud
But down here on earth I need just that one kiss
Easy to shape as a sound
When you love me - it's a kick in the heart
When you touch me you take me apart & apart & apart
When you kiss me - it's a kick in the heart
Take my keys love is waiting
Revved up in the driveway
The kiss is all, words mean nothing
Why don't we throw them away
