Jenny came over and told me 'bout Brad He's such a "harry" but you know what he said? Dumb as a box of hammers But he's such a handsome guy. And I opened up and I told her 'bout Larry And yesterday how he asked me to marry And I'm not giving him an answer yet I think I can do better! So we laughed Compared notes We had a drink We had a smoke She took off her overcoat I kissed a girl. I kissed a girl. She called home to say she'd be late He said he'd worried but now he'd feel safe I'm glad your with your girlfriend Tell her "hi" for me. And then I looked at you You had guilt in your eyes But it only lasted a little while And then I felt your hand above my knee. And we laughed At the world They can have their diamonds And we'll have our pearl I kissed a girl. I kissed a girl. I kissed a girl Her lips were sweet. She was just like kissing me Kissed a girl won't change the world But I'm so glad, I kissed a girl! And we laughed At the world They can have their diamonds and We'll have our pearl. I kissed a girl! For the first time I kissed a girl And I may do it again! I kissed a girl. I kissed a girl. I kissed a girl her lips were sweet, She was just like kissin' me But yeah, I kissed a girl. Kissed a girl won't change the world But I'm so glad I Kissed a girl. I kissed a girl. I kissed a girl!.
