Music Monday: "This Kiss" by Carly Rae Jepsen

Every Monday, we highlight one song that you may not have heard of, may not have heard in ages, or one that we just can’t seem to get out of our heads. Enjoy!

I think I have an unhealthy affection for terrible pop music. I liked the big guns in the 90s and 2000s (NSYNC, BSB, Britney, Christina), but even now I like the Top 40 hits of Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and now…Carly Rae Jepson. I totally thought she would be a one-hit wonder with “Call Me Maybe” and all the parody videos that followed suit. But she just may have another hit in her here. Listen to her new track, which sounds very 80s and 90s pop a la Tiffany and Debbie Gibson, “This Kiss”

Full Lyrics:

I went out last night
I’m going out tonight again
Anything to capture your attention (your attention)
And she’s a real sweet girl
And you know I got a boy
Details we both forgot to mention (forgot to mention)

And you, I always know where you are
And you always know where I am
We’re taking it way too far
But I don’t want it to end

This kiss is something I can’t resist
Your lips are undeniable
This kiss is something I can’t risk
Your heart is unreliable
Something so sentimental
You make so detrimental
And I wish it didn’t feel like this
Cause I don’t wanna miss this kiss
I don’t wanna miss this kiss

You know you’re just my type
And your eyes are lock and key, to my heart
Tempting my confession (my confession)
And you’re a real hot thing
But you know i’ve got a boy somewhere
So can you feel the tension? (Feel the tension)

And you, I’m dancing to where you are
And your dancing to where I am
We’re taking it way too far
But I don’t want it to end

But if you ask me to
I couldn’t, I couldn’t, I
You’re leaning closer and
I shouldn’t, I shouldn’t, I
But if you ask me to
I couldn’t, I couldn’t, I
I shouldn’t, I shouldn’t
I don’t wanna miss this kiss
