I Kissed A Girl Lyrics

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...

    It may have to do with Katy Perry wants all of her fans to find out who they really are with exploring..? I don't think that's the right way to say it...

    I think she means if you're gay it's okay

    She wants that everyone shows his feelings. either if it'S from man to man or woman to woman.. it can althought be from woman to man , but just be free and do the thinks you wanna do.

    I think it's about the adolescent stage when you're still discovering who you are. I think it talks about someone who thought they were straight, but is now re-thinking about maybe being gay. Catchy song!
    P.S. I DO know Katy grew up in a strong Christian household, but I think music is a lot of peoples' way of expressing themselves,and this was Katy's way of expressing her feelings about exploring to find who you are.

    I think it means exactly what it says:

    I- Katy Perry
    Kissed- kissed (duh)
    A girl- another woman

    So, Katy Perry (who is a woman) kissed another woman while she was drunk at a party. Doesn't make her a lesbian.

    Cherry Chapstick is not the upper lips. It's slang for the lower lips. So she 'kissed a girl'. And liked it.

    A girl interested in experimenting with her sexuality however would never do anything thinking its sinful got drunk and because of the high had the guts to actually try something that she was taught was "wrong" but enjoyed it and found out there is nothing wrong with being gay it doesn't make you a perv (like some assume) or sinful its innocent its just love or in the moment fun like any other relationship or fling.

    Cherry chopstick can also mean vagina. She is lesbo

    I think the MV says it all: Perry was drunk last night and did some crazy stuff like... I dunno, kiss the same sex? She woke up next morning recalling what she did and getting the creeps. I dunno. Maybe the song's telling us what terrors alcohol can bring.

    It's about a girl who was at a party and her boyfriend wasn't there "I hope my boyfriend don't mind it" she was in the moment and basically grabbed a random girl from the crowd and because she was drunk she didn't think about it "I got so brave drinking and lost my discretion" and kissed her. Her parents taught her not to do that but she did it anyways just for the fun of it " It felt so wrong it felt so right".

    It is just what happens when you are drunk - you can do anything. Lots of people do things when they are drunk that they wouldn't mean to when sober.

    I think, it's about a girl who's straight, but decides to kiss a friend. She enjoys it more than being straight and turns gay all in a catchy, 2:00 song.

    i think it's basically mean about her past..in an interview, she said that she had kiss a girl.if you had seen behind the scenes of the mtv ema 2008, she admitted her behave by saying that 'i know i may have kissed a girl in the past'

    I think it was for shock value. I think she wanted to get people talking, so she came up with this song to stir up controversy.

    I saw an interview that said it was about the girl who first introduced her to rock and roll music..
    (For those people who live in caves and under rocks, Katy Perry grew up in a strong christian household)
    Just sayin' ..
