Kiss That Grrrl
Kate Nash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I and I and I don't like it how she makes you laugh so much
How when you're talking, that you touch
She's instantly more pretty and more interesting than me
She is thinking before she speaks
She is not all red and angry
I bet she doesn't like to eat
I bet her feet don't even stink!
Kiss that girl and I will shrink up
And I will die and I will think up
A thousand ways that I can hurt you and
You will never touch my hand
Kiss that girl and I will shrink up
And I will die and I will think up
A thousand ways that I can hurt you and
You will never touch my hand
Tonight we have not got on well
I know I have given you hell
I wish we should have stayed at home
'Cause now I'm standing on my own
And you are having a nice time
With a girl I really don't like
I know your eyes are just for my but
Kiss that girl and I will shrink up
And I will die and I will think up
A thousand ways that I can hurt you and
You will never touch my hand
Kiss that girl and I will shrink up
And I will die and I will think up
A thousand ways that I can hurt you and
You will never touch my hand
Baby, please don't break my heart
'Cause you are the only one I love
I'll be by your side till the very end
'Cause you're my only friend
Kiss that girl and I will shrink up
And I will die and I will think up
A thousand ways that I can hurt you and
You will never touch my hand
Kiss that girl and I will shrink up
And I will die and I will think up
A thousand ways that I can hurt you and
You will never touch my hand

I love how kate has a normal body and she doesn't try to hide it. Her thighs touch like mine and thousands of other teenage girls do. Although society is pressuring us to be supermodel skinny, I prefer Kate's body.
James Dawson
So, she is super fit now, in the video, before and after..😍

Are you trying to imply that thinner bodies aren't normal?
It's Never Ogre
Wait, what isn't a normal body?

I know your comment is 3 years old but it's still relevant. I know super small, skinny chicks that have touching thighs. Touching thighs is just like a guys abs not showing all the time or ever. Just because you can't see a guys abs or a womans thighs are touching doesn't mean they are not healthy, perfectly fine, and nonetheless attractive individuals.
