Why Don't You Kiss Her?
Jesse McCartney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She knows everything that is on my mind, ohh
Lately somethin's changed as I lie awake in my bed
A voice here inside my head softly says
"Why don't you kiss her?
Why don't you tell her?
Why don't you let her see the feelings that you hide?
Oh, I'm so afraid to make that first move
Just a touch and we could cross the line, ohh
Every time she's near, I wanna never let her go
Confess to her what my heart knows
Hold her close
Why don't you kiss her?
Why don't you tell her?
Why don't you let her see the feelings that you hide?
'Cause she'll never know if you never show the way you feel inside
What would you say?
I wonder, would she just turn away?
Or would she promise me that she's here to stay?
It hurts me to wait
I keep asking myself
Why don't you kiss her?
(Tell her you love her)
Why don't you tell her?
(Tell her you need her)
Why don't you let her see the feelings that you hide?
'Cause she'll never know if you never show the way you feel inside
Why don't you kiss her?
(Why don't you kiss her?)
The song "Why Don't You Kiss Her" by Jesse McCartney tells a familiar story of unrequited love between two best friends. The singer and the girl share a deep connection as friends, but the singer has been developing romantic feelings for her recently. The song addresses the singer's inner struggles as he is afraid to make the first move and confess his true feelings to her. He keeps asking himself why he can't show her the way he feels inside and why he can't kiss her or tell her how much he loves and needs her. The lyrics suggest that the fear of rejection and ruining their friendship is holding him back, but at the same time, he regrets not taking the chance to see if their friendship could turn into something more.
The song's emotional resonance comes from its ability to capture the human experience of falling in love with someone who is right in front of you but feels out of reach. It speaks to those who have been in a similar situation and have struggled with expressing their true feelings. The lyrics are simple yet powerful and relatable, and Jesse McCartney's smooth vocals add to the song's emotional depth. The catchy melody and upbeat tempo make it a perfect pop ballad that captures the spirit of young love and the bittersweet feeling of missed opportunities.

Okay, I understand that this song is meant to be sung for a girl, but it describes EXACTLY how I am with my best friend in the whole world. Everyone says he likes me, but I don't really believe that. This song is the perfect description of our friendship. We've known each other for so long and we even have this special place we go to every day after school. We just relax and talk. I want to sing this song to him one day, but I'm afraid he'll laugh....
@latronjackson4756
Don’t be gullible he definitely likes you and it seems pretty obvious to everyone but you I guess just keep him in the friend zone
@SuperKSwag10
When I was little, I'd listen to Jesse McCartney all day. He was my favorite singer and "future husband." I listened to his album again and it brought back so many memories. This song is perf. ♥♥
