Kiss the Girl
Jonathan Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, my, oh, my
Look at the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame, too bad
You're gonna miss the girl

There you see her
Sittin' there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why, but you're dying to try
You've gotta kiss the girl

Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you, too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word, not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl

Sing it! Ha!

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, my, oh, my
Look at the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame, too bad
You're gonna miss the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl

Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word, and she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl
Ha ha ha!

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, my, oh, my
Look at the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame, too bad
You're gonna miss the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl

(keytar solo)

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, float along
Listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, music play
Do what the music say
You wanna kiss the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, my, oh, my
Look at the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame, too bad
You're gonna miss the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, gender roles
And really big plot holes
Come on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, what the hell?
Even a crab can tell
You gotta kiss the girl





You gotta kiss the girl
You gotta kiss the girl

What should I cover next? 🔥

@alexandria7107

The Goodbye Song from Bear in the Big Blue House! And you must include Caleb!

@dawnrobbins7066

Evil, Madhatter or Class Fight by Melanie Martinez please :D

@goldflamkuroryu3408

A music of Peter Pan !!

@anthony7697

Behind Blue Eyes (original, not Limp Bizkit) maybe? Sympathy for the Devil? Something less meme/algorithm related less likely to seem crushing to your soul to cover. Amusing as the dead inside videos tend to be it feels bad when your original stuff is so damn good.

Which also, cause the algorithm is terrible at it's job apparently - thanks for introducing me to Colm McGuinness through your covers and all cause some how - despite countless searches for the Irish music I listened to a lot of as a kid (that he covers), rock, covers, on down the list, it could not apparently add together 'hey, you might like this'.

@LucTaylor

Whatever you do next, you should wear the Sebastian outfit again
