As the leadoff single for Paul McCartney’s McCartney III Imagined, Dominic Fike’s ‘III-imagined’ cover of ‘The Kiss of Venus’ is a fresh take on McCartney’s original acoustic ballad. Fike opted to replace large portions of the lyrics for his version, shifting the song’s focus from astronomical image...
The Kiss of Venus Lyrics
[Chorus]
The kiss of Venus has got me on the go
She scored a bullseye in the early morning glow
[Verse 1]
Then I asked her, have you read the paper? Okay
People talking about which side they're taking
And if you know, then, baby, what's your take on it?
Does it make you wanna leave?
'Cause I could look the other way for you
[Chorus]
The kiss of Venus has got me on the go
Scored a bullseye in the early morning glow, yeah
[Bridge]
Reflеcted mountains in a lake
Is this too much to take?
Asleep or widе awake?
And if the world begins to shake
Will something have to break?
Or would we stay awake?
[Verse 2]
Have you (Oh, I asked you) read the paper? (Oh, I asked you)
People talking without no education, yeah
Look, go to college (College), go find your major (Major)
Realize you're minor in the scheme of everything
[Chorus]
The kiss of Venus (Well, the kiss of Venus) has got me on the go (The kiss of Venus)
Scored a bullseye in the early morning glow, yeah
[Outro]
Well, the kiss of Venus has got me on the go
She scored a bullseye in the early morning glow

What did Paul McCartney & Dominic Fike say about "The Kiss of Venus"?
When I started making this, the song wasn’t out yet and it was surreal to think that there was no youtube video to teach me how to play it. That I was the first person to get to figure it out. It started out as an exact cover but quickly morphed into this because there was no world where I was going...
What parts did Dominic write that Paul did not?
Paul wrote the chorus and bridge, while Dominic wrote the two verses. Paul’s full original lyrics can be heard on his version.
What has Fike said about working with McCartney?
I worked for Paul, which is how everyone always feels about working with Paul. I did get to talk to him a couple of times though. My manager was like, ‘yo, Paul McCartney just hit you up.’ I went to the studio, and I invited my drummer, Ryan, and he put drums over my singing.
