[Verse]
Holly is a poet, a heathen and a sadist
A punk-rock demagogue, an intellectual rapist
Wendy is the architect of all her friends' ambitions
She confiscates their penises and trades them on commission

[Refrain]
And I
I'm afraid to kiss the girl tonight
I wonder why
I'm afraid to kiss the girl tonight

[Verse]
Susie has a nice ass and tits like Gibraltar
But she's just about young enough I think I could adopt her
Miriam is perfect, she's an angel and an artist
But I expect to fuck it up as soon as I have started

[Refrain]
And I
I'm afraid to kiss the girl tonight
I wonder why
I'm afraid to kiss the girl tonight

[Chorus]
There's something (something something)
In the way you cry
Something sort of sexy
You know you like it
Is there something (something something)
Something on your mind?
Tell me what you're thinking
God knows we're trying
[Verse]
Mona is a miracle of simple contradictions;
She's a nouveau-iconoclast with new-age superstitions
Summer is a creature who likes to play the martyr
'Cause life is hard, so she intends to be harder

[Refrain]
And I
I'm afraid to kiss the girl tonight
I wonder why
I'm afraid to kiss the girl tonight

[Verse]
Lucy's never been in love but she's been a lover
She gives herself away then she gives it to another
Mariam is perfect. She's an angel and an artist
But I expect to fuck it up as soon as I have started

[Refrain]
And I
I'm afraid to kiss the girl tonight
I wonder why
I'm afraid to kiss the girl tonight

[Chorus]
There's something (something something)
In the way you cry
Something sort of sexy
You know you like it
Is there something (something something)
Something on your mind?
Tell me what you're thinking
God knows we're trying
[Bridge]
I don't deserve the love that you've got to give
Give your heart to another man, let another kiss your lips
I know I'm broken, but I'm not beyond repair
All I need is, I don't know
Fuck! It just ain't fair

[Refrain]
That I
I'm afraid to kiss the girl tonight
I wonder why
I'm afraid to kiss the girl

[Outro]
Kiss the girl
Kiss the girl
Kiss the girl
Kiss the girl
Kiss the girl
Kiss the girl
Kiss the girl
Kiss the girl
Kiss the girl
Kiss that girl tonight
