Think I was 14 in a basement All our friends were playing truth or dare I was waiting for him to say it was our turn To have a couple minutes in there Think it was spearmint gum that he pulled out And I haven't bought that flavor since My hands were shaking We were close to the moment I was always picturing Anticipation My world's gonna change When I cross that line I kissed a boy And I hated it Yeah I waited for the spark It didn't start So I stayed in it Trying to argue with my heart Thought I'd feel it if I did it more Yeah I wish I would've known before I kissed a boy Ooh So I kept looking for the right one But I never felt the chemistry I've got a long list of the nice ones No one ever really did it for me Hopeless romantic Can't understand So I kept on trying So I kissed a boy And I hated it Yeah I waited for the spark It didn't start So I stayed in it Trying to argue with my heart Thought I'd feel it if I did it more Yeah I wish I would've known before I kissed a boy Ooh I kissed a boy Ooh Took a decade to see it Forgot I was looking for a feeling But at 21 I found someone And nobody's ever felt like she did I kissed a boy And I hated it Waited for the spark It didn't start So I stayed in it Trying to argue with my heart Thought I'd feel it if I did it more Yeah I wish I would've known before I kissed a boy (I kissed a boy I kissed a boy) I kissed a boy (I wish I would've known) I wish I would've known before I kissed a boy
