Then I Kissed Her
Beach Boys · The Very Best of The Beach Boys
And I asked her if she wanted to dance
She looked awfull nice
And so I hoped she might take a chance
When we danced I held her tight
And then I walked her home that night
And all the stars were shining bright
And then I kissed her
And each time I saw her
I couldn't wait to see her again
I wanted to let her know
That I was more than a friend
I didn't know just what to do
And so I whispered I love you
And she said that she loved me too
And then I kissed her
I kissed her in a way
That I never kissed a girl before
I kissed her in a way
That I hope she likes forever more
I knew that she was mine
So I gave her all the love that I had
And one day she'll take me home
To meet her mom and her dad
Then I asked her to be my bride
And always be right by my side
I felt so happy I almost cried
And then I kissed her
And then I kissed her
And then I kissed her
Then I Kissed Her
