It comes from the reflexive verb, cuidarse, which means to take care of oneself.
Se me cuida. - He/She/It takes care of; watches over me.
Dios (taking the place of 'se') me cuida. - God watches over me.
or
Se me cuida a Dios. - God watches over me.
La música me cuida cuándo me siento mal.
Music takes care of me when I feel bad.
Besos de nuevo se me cuida. - Kisses take care of; watch over me again. I believe that's the right context; as far as in inglés. It sounds a bit strange. Perhaps it means something totally different in español. Anyone care to comment if my assumption is wrong? Which I think may be wrong.

¡Hola!
I can't say I have heard that phrase before, but looking at it I would have to agree with C_Norita in a way...
I think the sentence reads "Kisses again, I'm being taken care of" or if we simply look at the overall meaning it would be something like this...
"Once again I send you kisses, don't worry I'm being taken care of or people are helping me".
Hope it helps.

Mauricio is right. That definitely makes more sense!
Thanks, Mauricio.
