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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

    General Comment:I'm a guy and let me say that JoJo is my "secret Pleasure". I mostly listen to Underground rap and Country (I'm a hopeless romantic - most of the country I listen to is about romance - etc) anyways, I always listened to JoJo when I was feeling sad or angry and her singing and voice would always bring me to a happy medium.

    That being said, I met a wonderful girl last year around this time. I started to listen to JoJo some more and her songs made...for lack of a better word - my head "Click" into knowing exactly what things to do. A few things for instance, After our first meeting, I placed some roses on the windshield of her car while she was singing (don't worry, she told me where she was and everything - not that ya think I'm a creeper) at church during a hail storm. Another thing I do is I try to get her flowers every week and present them to her in a different way each time. I'll clean her car and hide a dozen roses all over, then put a card and a gift in the trunk or something so she has a little scavenger hunt to do.

    I try to use her music as inspiration into finding new things I can do for her ( or any girl). I'm glad to say that I'm part of the 1% of guys that's not a pig.

    This song especially is wonderful and In my opinion - as long as your honest with the person - you two can get along and have a wonderful relationship. Caring about each other and showing that you do truly care for the girl's feelings and make them feel loved and feel protected.

    General Comment:THIS IS SUCH A GREAT AND HEARTFELT SONG BY A GREAT ARTIST NAMED JOJO. IT IS ABOUT HOW SHE IS WAITING AND HOLDING BACK A LITTLE BIT BEFORE SHE GIVES HERSELF TO A GUY...PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY. SHE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THE FEEELINGS ARE MUTUAL AND SINCERE. SHE'S NOT READY TO RUSH INTO SOMETHING AND GET HER HEART BROKE.

    General Comment:Oh, get real! Of course it's about sex - or at least foreplay. And there's nothing scandalous about a 16--year old singing that (most people lose their virginity before 16 anyway!)

    General Comment:she is gorgeous and has a beautiful voice. i love this song..it is definitely not about physical touch if you listen to the lyrics. its about the girl having to trust that the guy is really a genuine person who loves her for whats inside before she really gives her heart to him. definitely a really pretty song.

    General Comment:"You'll go far in this world if you know how to touch a girl."
    Her voice sounds amazing in this song.
    I'm not keen on certain lyrics, but the general meaning of the song makes a lot of sense.
    It's not about whether or not a girl lets you touch her, but whether they want to.
    It's what a guy needs to do in order for the girl to want to do this stuff.
    She'll love him physically, & more importantly emotionally, if he knows how to treat her.

    General Comment:this song isnt about touching physically,
    its about touching the heart!
    just so all you people with your minds in the gutter know
    if a guy knew how to talk to you and treat you
    you'd love him the best you could..
