“I Kissed A Girl” is Jill Sobule’s bi-curious, biggest hit. The lyrics find Sobule falling for her friend Jenny as they bemoan their romantic problems. Like most of the other songs on Sobule’s eponymous second album, the musical composition incorporates elements of pop, rock, and country.
The song...
[Verse 1]
Jenny came over and told me 'bout Brad
"He's such a hairy behemoth", she 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
I'm not giving him an answer yet
I think I can do better
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
She called home to say she'd be late
He said, he worried but now he'd feel safe
"I'm glad you're with your girlfriend
Tell her "Hi" for me"
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
[Chorus 2]
And we laughed at the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl
[Bridge]
I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet
She was just like kissing me
I kissed a girl, won't change the world
But I'm so glad
I kissed a girl
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 2]
And we laughed at the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls
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
[Outro]
I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet
She was just like kissing me (But yeah)
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl, won't change the world
But I'm so glad
I kissed a girl (For the first time)
I kissed a girl (Won't be the last time)
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl
