Verse 2:
(Same chords throughout the whole song)
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 erase.


(Repeat chorus)


Bridge:
Us girls we are so magical,
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable,
Hard to resist, so touchable.
To good to deny it.
Ain't no big deal,
Its innocent.


(Repeat Chorus)


Outro:
I kissed a girl,
And I liked it.
I liked it
