Words
There you see her, sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say but there's something about her
And you don't know why but you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl
Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she wants you too
There's one way to ask her
It don't take a word, not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
Sing with me now
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame, too bad?
He gonna miss the girl
Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word until you kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't be scared
We got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl (oh, whoa!)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl (oh, whoa!)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Float along and listen to the sound
The song say "Kiss the girl" (oh-oh)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
The music play
Do what the music say
You gotta kiss the girl
You got to (kiss the girl)
Why don't you (wanna kiss the girl) (go on and)
You gotta (kiss the girl)
Go on and (kiss the girl)
