Aren't You Kinda Glad We Did

Melanie C · Stages [2012]

Oh it really wasn't my intention

To disregard convention

It was just an impulse that had to be obeyed



Though it seems convention we've been scorning

I'll still not go in warning

Though my reputation is blemished, I'm afraid



With just one kiss

What heaven, what rapture, what bliss!



Honestly, I thought I wouldn't

Naturally, I thought I couldn't

And probably I shouldn't

But aren't you kinda glad we did?



Actually, it all was blameless

Never the less, they'll call it shameless

So let's keep the lady nameless

But aren't you kinda glad we did?



Socially, I'll be an outcast

Obviously, we'll dine alone

On my good name there will be doubt cast

With never a sign of any chaperone



No matter how they may construe it

Whether or not we have to ruin

Whatever made us do it

Well aren't you kinda glad we did?



Aren't you kinda glad we did?
