I Kissed A Girl Lyrics

Send "I Kissed A Girl" Ringtone to your Cell

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

No, I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter
Your my experimental game
Just human nature
It's not what, good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

I agree with alioopity. I was in the car with my mom when I heard this. I didn't realize what she was saying until I started singing along and my mom gave me a strange look.

I'm not saying it's a big deal. I like the song, I was just commenting on how my mom now thinks I'm a lesbian. Not that there's anything wrong with being a lesbian, it's just that I'm not. So, yeah, it got a little awkward.

My parents are immune to my constant singing along to the radio...so that's probably why they don't have much of a reaction whenever I sing this one. I mean...the song sort of is really open and out there, and that's what gives me the courage to stand up and reveal something about myself that no one knew before, you know?

This song is utter crap, lyrically and content wise. I have nothing against gays and lesbians, I just think its wrong to cash in by creating music that encourages this sexual confusion in the current generation. My sister who's a lesbian even said of this song "yeah I might do what she's talking about, but I wouldn't write a song about it." All of these idiots who prattle on about this being great representation of people experimenting with bisexuality need to get a clue. Just because you have a sexual encounter with someone and enjoy the feeling doesn't mean you're attracted to that person or that gender. Sex is supposed to feel good, regardless of who it is with...it doesn't mean you are attracted to women or could end up having a relationship with one. I'm sick of this bisexuality crap, it's all along the same lines as that Tila Tequila show...it's just for guys to beat off to, it is horrible representation for gays and lesbians. This kind of stuff is why we have so many young sluts as well as people confused about their sexuality...both gay people thinking they can somehow make themselves bi and thus "normal" to a degree, as well as straight people who think that a pleasurable experience with someone of the same sex makes them bisexual.

Okay friend, you're reply shows a closed-mindedness that defies understanding. honestly, you act as if you accept hetero and homosexuals, but you are somehow... damn kid, they haven't even made up a word for you yet. biphobic? what, it's not cool for someone to like both sexes? they HAVE to pick one? you reveal the limitations of your own outlook in your post. And for the record, I'm a hetero male. But while all that I've said is very valid, the whole subject is a moot point, since you're missing the point of the song. It's not glorifying bisexuality. it's a song about a human experience, one which (and being a college senior I've seen this happen remarkably often) happens an awful lot at parties. if you look at the lyrics, you'll see its about a girl who was drinking at a party, felt confident, and kissed another girl. no poetry there, I'll give you that, but the fact that the experience is common to several people I know, as opposed to your supposed lesbian friend who doesn't believe in bisexuality either, means that the lyrical content is sound. If you can name another song which speaks to this issue better, then you can make a criticism. till then, keep your intolerance to a minimun and try to understand what songs are about before you criticise them.

yes writing a song like this is just increasing sexual confusion. you know someone is gonna listen to this song and try it. im not saying its bad to be gay or lesbian. im bi. but half the ppl who think their gay arent. but you are a little closed minded since your saying choose one!!! even though you cant. things like these shouldnt go out publicly its not right. and it was made to bring attention. and it got popular because a "hot" girl is singing it.

He was implying on how every single god damn person is going Bi, not that fact that he hates them. He dosn't, okay?? I dont hate Bi's either - my best friend is Bi. all seraphicreverie was saying is that it seems that every single goddamn person is going Bi, and i agree. its really annoying becasue these people are 'just doing it' and arn't really Bi. they're just doing it for the hell of it. if your one of those Bi people that say "I like guys wayyyyy more than i like girls," then your not really Bi, you just think kissing a girl is fun. And that's what this song is about.
Get a life, and stop being so stupid. your not really Bi, your just following this stipid trend, in which everyone is going Bi. seriously, if you could chart on how many people have gone Bi in the last 5 or 6 years, it would be unbaleivable. Why do you think that there are no where enar as many Bi guys than Bi girls? Because girls are more like that. they'd go ahed and "kiss a girl" and then go all "Hey everyone, I'm Bi!!!"
it's really annoying. I dont hate gays, Bi's or lesbians, I just hate this stupid new trend.

I really don't get what your problem is. You act like gay-ness is like an exclusive club and it bums you out when people try to be in it that you think aren't worthy. Why is it always in terms of gay or straight or bi? Why do you have to be a label? Why can't you just kiss whoever you want to kiss and be like, I like kissing girls and boys. Or I've only dated boys but I've kissed girls. I don't get why it has to be all or nothing, or even what criteria you have to meet to be "bi". Is there a committee? Are you on the committee? Should I submit my application to you to see if my sexuality meets your standards?

I believe he was criticizing the sexualization of lesbians, bisexuals, and women in general. even the line "No, I don't even know your name, It doesn't matter. your my experimental game, Just human nature" blatantly objectifies women. the problem is that since it is coming from the mouth of a woman, society views it as acceptable (i'm referring to objectification, not being bisexual. bisexuality is definitely acceptable) though it is actually creating a double standard. Same with the part "i hope my boyfriend doesn't mind". it basically shows that infidelity is acceptable only when it is exhibited by two (usually attractive) females, regardless of their individual reasons for doing so, in this case being "just curious". you need to understand that had this video been produced 2 decades ago, like around Madonna's "Like A Virgin", it MAY have been considered ground-breaking for some aspect of the feminist movement. however, this does not negate the fact that the lyrics objectify women and glorify lesbianism in a purely sexual manner. sexual attraction and experience is but one criteria for placing value on an individual or group of people. so before any of you "bi-sexuals" lay into this guy for expressing his frustration with this aspect of societal hypocrisy, take a good look in the mirror and REALLY ask yourself, "Do I appreciate the women i kiss on a deeper level than just sexual gratification, such as her intellectual or character attributes? or am i just exploiting this type of sexuality as a way of getting attention?". regardless of what you post on here, just by taking this statement as a personal attack on your sophomoric reasoning and supposed sexual identity, i can most likely assume the real answer is the latter...

children, grow up.

Speaking as a bisexual myself; this song is simply about experimenting with women. I don't find it offensive, it's just fun. Good beat, catchy, all around good song.

So okay,
I'm thinking that this song is really lame.
It's degrading, even.

"No, I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter
Your my experimental game"

Oh yes, let's use people.
:/

Anyways, I agree with seraphicreverie.

the first time i heard this song i was leaving a store then i stopped and was like um..what??

i think its a funny song but also hypocritical. girls hate when guys are players so shes one?

seraphicreverie makes a lot of good points. though i dont really agree with bisexuality being wrong. im bi and i am honestly into boy and girls. i just dont limit who i have feelings for.

sexual confusion just happens, whether or not media and entertainment "encourage" it.
i don't see what's wrong with openly discussing it
the same type of people who want to shut it up are the same type who hold back any progression in acceptance

her song isn't about realizing she's a lesbian or any real life changing occurrence, ("Don't mean I'm in love tonight") it's simply that one night at a party she got drunk and had the urge to kiss a girl and SURPRISE she liked it.

bisexuality is a personal choice and can't really be defined

you can't just say a girl isn't bi just because she doesn't want a RELATIONSHIP with another girl
it's all about the sexual attraction

what do you say about guys who don't want relationships? that they're not straight?

I was told about this song by a girl who's kind of been giving me mixed signals...so yeah, I figured I needed to give it a listen and see if it might tell me where she was coming from...so yeah, this sounds like it's probably her train of thought :)

I don't think bisexuality is wrong AT ALL but I do think that it has been commercialized too much. But hey, sex sells.

I agree completely with ecksohhhh, but adding in my own two cents in response to seraphicreverie;

I can see where you're coming from, but you're not looking at all the factors in creating such an argument. You have to look at history. The current generation, yes, is exposed to sex and homosexuality. Why? Because we're more accepting, we're less likely to discriminate against someone because of their sexuality - we're living in a time when we allow someone to express themselves sexually, regardless of their preference. In generations past, homosexuality was frowned upon, and that includes the experimentation that goes along with it. Of course people weren't going to open up about it! This generation embraces peoples' differences and choices. People now feel free to experiment to see what/who they rather without the fear of social isolation. Who's to say they're not aloud to do that?

But back to the song - it's pretty damn funky. I agree with chickacherrycola.

I love this song. Not the best, lyrically. But hey - its different. Its not too often you hear songs about homosexuality/bisexuality on the radio. Our generation is more open and accepting that previous ones, and now the music is starting to reflect that.
Being bi myself, I can relate somewhat to the song. I've done things with girls and I've had feelings for some, but I don't know if I'd ever have a serious relationship with a girl. Does that mean I'm not bi? No. It doesn't. I know I'm attracted to girls. I know I'm bisexual.

And to those of you who say people are just posing as bisexuals as part of a "trend" or trying to fit in or be more normal than homosexuals - fuck you. Its not a trend, its a personal opinion of attraction. The fact simply is that there are the same number of bisexuals as there always have been - people are just more open about it.
This song is catchy and different and I like it :)

well, i honestly think that kissing anyone is fun, because, in the end, women and men are not that different "kissing-wise," right? i kind of think that we are all bi in a way...maybe not. but this is a very brave song. i mean, aren't at least 15% of Americans homophobes? not that this is specifically a homosexual song, more of an honest one, imao. everyone has been attracted to both the opposite and same sex before, i'm pretty sure. that doesn't necessarily make us all bisexual, some of us prefer male partners and some of us prefer female to the other, but i honestly think that everyone has felt some kind of attraction to either sex. idk, that might just be me.

I have some problems with this song, but on the whole, I like it. It defiantly advocates experimentation with sexuality. I like that way she so strong when she sings "and I liked it." To me, it's sort saying, "If you don't like that, then shove it." It's certainly a brave song, as undefined789 says.

Though I did have problems. I think the song sort of portrays bisexuals as sluts. For one thing, the singer refers to the girl she kissed as her "experimental game," which is rather degrading. Romantic intimacy is a "game" to her, apparently. Also, she has a boyfriend and so is technically cheating on him. If the song were handled a bit differently, I think I would have liked it even better. There seems to be so few songs so openly advocating homosexuality, though, that I'll take what I can get.

i agree with klarikwa it's totally just about experimenting with someone of the same sex. it's okay to be curious...
i really don't believe anyone should take this song seriously. i really don't think that is the artists intentions.

I can't help but think that the song's a slight bit insulting at some points:

"I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion"
-Sounds like a girl has to be drunk for the possibility to even happen.

"I hope my boyfriend don't mind it"
-Acknowledges the fact that she expects her boyfriend to find out, and doesn't care that she's kissing someone else.

"No, I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter
Your my experimental game"
-Doesn't care about the girl she's kissing much, and is using the girl like a 'game'

It's not what, good girls do
Not how they should behave

...and yet despite these thoughts of mine, it's one helluva catchy song =/
