As a lesbian, this song makes me a bit queasy.
Not that I have anything against bisexual people per se [as the saying goes, some of my best friends are bi], but when I look at the lyrics of this song, all I can read into it is...well, what about the other girl? The song completely overlooks the thoughts and feelings of the other girl mentioned in the song, which bothers me somewhat because in many situations, I have been that girl. No matter what people tell you about 'experimenting' it really isn't nice or 'cool' to mess with other people's feelings, especially if you could be leading them on.
Though I'm glad this song promotes diversity and such, from my personal experience, I can't help but feel that the narrator is somehow undermining the sexuality of both herself and the girl she kissed. She should really be more considerate.
WIthout reading that much into it, of course, I love the song itself--it's amazingly catchy and fun.
I'm a lesbian too and I think people just need to lighten up.
You're right, she doesn't mention the feelings of the other girl, so you can't assume that the other girl had deep feelings for her, she could have been in exactly the same position, just experimenting.
And of course it's not nice to mess with other people's feelings, but if some drunk straight girl with a boyfriend is kissing you at a party (girl that you've never met), then it's your fault if you get your hopes up about it, it's pretty obvious that it's a drunken experiment.
Girls get drunk...

Girls get drunk and make out with me at parties and I always know it's just because we're drunk and then we have a good laugh about it the next day.
