I Kissed A Girl
Ben l'Oncle Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention
I Kissed A Girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I Kissed A Girl just to try it
I hope my girlfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I Kissed A Girl and I liked it
I liked it
No, I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter
Your my experimental game
Just human nature
It's not what, good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey
I Kissed A Girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I Kissed A Girl just to try it
I hope my girlfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I Kissed A Girl and I liked it
I liked it
Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent
I Kissed A Girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I Kissed A Girl just to try it
I hope my girlfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I Kissed A Girl and I liked it
I liked it
The song "I Kissed A Girl" by Ben l'Oncle Soul is a cover of the original Katy Perry song of the same name. In this song, the singer talks about a moment of curiosity where she tries kissing a girl, something she had never planned on doing. She admits feeling confused about her emotions and attraction towards this person, as she has a girlfriend who might not approve of her actions. Despite feeling like what she did was wrong and right at the same time, she enjoyed the experience and the taste of the other girl's cherry chapstick.
In the chorus, the singer talks about how the idea of being with another girl is not a big deal and how girls can be so magical, and their soft skin and red lips are so kissable. The song concludes with the singer admitting that she liked the experience, but it didn't mean she was in love with the other girl.
The song's message is centered around discovering one's sexuality and not being afraid to explore and experiment. It also challenges society's traditional views on morality and what is considered acceptable behavior.
