Kiss The Boy
Keiynan Lonsdale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been afraid of my place
Of this way
Of my feelings
But I'm amazed at how we talk
It's so chill
But theres tension
What was the deal when your eyes locked on me
What was the deal when you smiled at me like that
You see I try to be cool but the problem is using my emotions up
My head gets stuck
I'm scared to show just how I feel
'Cause people talk
Don't want to worry 'bout whatever
Just got to know your deal
See, half the time I'm wondering if this is real
Why not say somethings on my mind if I feel love
But when the moments right I freeze
That's how I know my heart is his

If you want to kiss the boy then you better kiss the boy right now
You ain't got to be afraid of the words you want to say right now '
Cause love is a game we deserve to play out loud
So you want to play then you better kiss the boy
Oh, you better kiss the boy right now
Giving the love Giving the love
Give it the time Give it the time
If it's all a movie then you'll see
It's only about us two
But the cost of trust is that you could throw it away
Maybe it's overrated I probably shouldn't chase it
But I can't stop the crazy within
You messing my emotions up
My head gets stuck
I'm scared to show just how I feel 'cause people talk
Don't want to worry 'bout whatever just got to know your deal
See, half the time I'm wondering if this is real
I might not say the one thing on my mind cause it's too tough
But we lose our chance when we don't try
On second thought yeah, I think I might

If you want to kiss the boy then you better
kiss the boy right now (right now, right now)
You ain't got to be afraid of the words you want to say right now
'Cause love is a game we deserve to play out loud
So you if you want to play then you better kiss the boy
Oh, you better kiss the boy right now
Don't want to hide, don't want to hide
Most of my life I've been terrified
Spending my days always questioning
Am I wrong to love a man
I realise I realise ain't gotta hide this heart of mine
I'm gonna fight just to let you know to open
your light and let it glow

So if you want to kiss the boy then you
better kiss the boy right now (Oh, yeah)
You ain't gotta be afraid of the words you
want to say right now (You gotta say it baby)
'Cause love is a game we deserve to
play out loud (We deserve our love)
So if you want to play then you better kiss




the boy oh, you better kiss the boy right now
If you want to kiss the boy then you better kiss the boy right now

I love how the video not only portrayed lgbtq+ but also straight relationships, best friends, sisters, people with their dog ;) , etc.
It really just shows that you can love whoever you want, the way you want to. It doesn't matter if it's "just" your dog or your significant other. Human beings need love and there should be no reason for anyone to hide for who he/she/they give their love to😊❤


I am currently questioning my sexuality and of course hope to find my way and maybe a significant other soon, but I try to not stress about it too much. I'll find my way sooner or later and so will you. So basically just live and love exactly how you want to, and don't feel bad about it😊
You deserve to be happy♡

Ugh I'm so happy more of these family friendly "love based" LGBTQ+ things are coming out in the media. For a long time we've only had oversexualized and party scene things. And while those are fun and everything, they only show one aspect of "gay culture". This family friendly stuff helps show straight people that at the core of it all,it really is just about love.

wow. That's beautiful
