How to Touch a Girl
JoJo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One, two, three, four
Mmm, oh
I think I could like you
Already do
Feelings can grow but
They can go away too
You're taking my hand
Looking into my eyes
Don't be in a rush to get me tonight
I feel something happening
Could this be a spark?
To satisfy me, baby
Got to satisfy my heart

Do you know how to touch a girl?
If you want me so much
First I have to know
Are you thoughtful and kind?
Do you care what's on my mind
Or am I just for show?
You'll go far in this world
If you know how to touch a girl
(Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?)

I think I could like you
But I keep holding back
'Cause I can't seem to tell
If you're fiction or fact
Show me you can laugh
Show me you can cry
Show me who you really are
Deep down inside
Do you feel something happening?
Could this be for real?
I don't know right now
But tonight we'll reveal

Do you know how to touch a girl?
If you want me so much
First I have to know
Are you thoughtful and kind?
Do you care what's on my mind
Or am I just for show?
You'll go far in this world
If you know how to touch a girl
(Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?)

Bring me some flowers
Conversation for hours
To see if we really connect
And maybe if we do, oh
I'll be giving all my love to you
Oh

Do you know how to touch a girl?
If you want me so much
First I have to know
Are you thoughtful and kind?
Do you care what's on my mind
Or am I just for show?
You'll go far in this world
If you know how to touch a girl
(Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?)





You'll go far in this world
If you know how to touch a girl
