You Kissed Me First Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know I put on that dress
And painted my lips red
I know I walked in this bar
With a couple of my friends
I know that I told you
The barstool was free
I know that I smiled back
When you smiled at me

[Chorus]
But you were the one that got me a drink
Champagne glass full of sunset pink
You asked me to dance, asked my name
Then you paid the bar band to play
One more slow song before last call
Then you leaned in so it ain't my fault
If I wake up in your t-shirt
Just remember, you kissed me first

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, you kissed me, you kissed me, you kissed me
You kissed me first
Woah

[Verse 2]
I know I laid my head
On your shoulder in the dark
I know I took your hand
Under the neon stars
I know I told myself
Let's see where it goes
I know I didn't pull back
When you pulled me close
[Chorus]
But you were the one that got me a drink
Champagne glass full of sunset pink
You asked me to dance, asked my name
Then you paid the bar band to play
One more slow song before last call
Then you leaned in so it ain't my fault
If I wake up in your t-shirt
Just remember, you kissed me first

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, you kissed me, you kissed me, you kissed me
You kissed me first
Woah

[Bridge]
I won't be the one to blame
If this is meant to be
And I won't feel guilty
If you fall in love with me

[Chorus]
'Cause you were the one that got me a drink
Champagne glass full of sunset pink
You asked me to dance, asked my name
Then you paid the bar band to play
One more slow song before last call
Then you leaned in so it ain't my fault
If I wake up in your t-shirt
Just remember, you kissed me first
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, you kissed me, you kissed me, you kissed me
You kissed me first
Woah

Hillary Lindsey actually sent this song to my publisher, Daniel. I heard it and it did remind me again, the heartbeat of this record is me finding my way to Michael. I definitely experienced that moment where you’re like, “Oh my goodness, is this for real?” And I loved that Hillary wrote it in mind for me, just because she’s been a key part of my sound from the beginning as well.
