How To Touch A Girl

Artist: JoJo
Song Title: How To Touch A Girl

[Spoken] One, two, three, four

Hmm mmm

I think i could like you, already do
Feelings can grow but they can go away, too
You're takin' my hand, lookin' into my eyes
Don't be in a rush to get me tonight

I feel somethin' happenin, could this be a spark?
To satisfy me, baby, gotta satisfy my heart

[CHORUS]
Do you know how to touch a girl?
If you want me so much, first I have to know
Are you thoughtful and kind?
Do you care what's on my mind?
Or am I just for show?
You'll go far in this world if you know how to touch a girl

Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?

I think I could like you but I keep holding back
Cause I can't seem to tell if you're fiction or fact
Show me you can laugh, show me you can cry
Show me who you really are deep down inside

Do you feel somethin happenin', could this be for real?
I don't know right now but tonight will reveal

[CHORUS]
Do you know how to touch a girl?
If you want me so much, first I have to know
Are you thoughtful and kind?
Do you care what's on my mind?
Or am I just for show?
You'll go far in this world if you know how to touch a girl

Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl? (Whoa oh oh)
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?

[BRIDGE]
Bring me some flowers, conversation for hours
To see if we really connect
And baby if we do, ooh oo oo
I'll be givin' all my love to you

Ohh

[CHORUS]
Do you know how to touch a girl?
If you want me so much, first I have to know
Are you thoughtful and kind?
Do you care what's on my mind?
Or am I just for show?
You'll go far in this world if you know how to touch a girl

Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl? (Yeah, yeah)
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?

You'll go far in this world if you know how to touch a girl

You know, I first heard this song over the radio. I mean, I liked the tune and the bounce that the song had and all that. I liked it from the start. Thing was, all I heard was the last line of the final chorus onwards.

JoJo went: -

"You'll go far in this world if you know how to touch a girl
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl? (Yeah, yeah)
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?
You'll go far in this world if you know how to touch a girl"

And then I went, "SAY WHAT!?"

Apa ni touching touching can go far far? Aiyo! Little did I know, she meant the "FEELING touched" kinda "touch". Phew. Aku ingat dia ni cakap apa. Ish. Haha. Sorry. My mind overtook me this time. =p

I think she's a fantastic songwriter. I have to say that she's really good at what she does. Plus, it doesn't hurt that she sings amazingly well and looks pretty hot, too. I blogged the first single of her second album "The High Road", entitled: "Too Little Too Late" in mid-November last year. Went crazy over that song and now, I'm predicting this song's gonna do the same. Similar effects to the Tinki brain. Haha.

"To satisfy me, baby, gotta satisfy my heart"

I have to agree with her. It's all in the heart, guys. Everything else pales in comparison when the heart is not fed and heartstrings are not stroked in the right way. Love tanks empty in time; people get tired. Come on, all else falls into the depths of the superficial when you really think about it. Nothing else matters but what you put into committing to someone – your heart. That's what you really invest. Not time, not money, not effort. It's your heart… and with that comes everything else, including the five love languages and the expression of each one of them. Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson once said, "You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving." He couldn't have been more right when he said that.

"Do you know how to touch a girl?
If you want me so much, first I have to know
Are you thoughtful and kind?
Do you care what's on my mind?"

I'll probably be stoned to death in a "Women Only" Arena for revealing this, but since my readers are predominantly male (yes, I'm referring to YOU), I'm hoping they'll (YOU again) all step up and save me. (Ahem. HINT!) Haha. Plus, I don't think it's anything you guys don't already know.

Well, in most cases, girls fall for the emotional attachments that come with connecting with another. It's the heart-to-heart chats that get to her. Showing her that you care about her, that you care about what she thinks and feels and all that works wonders. I could go on and on but you guys know all this already, don't you?

So tell me.

Why don't you act and react towards her
based on what you already know?

"You'll go far in this world if you know how to touch a girl"

Sigh.

Girls aren't that difficult to understand. We're not that much of an enigma when you really think about it. There are answers available to unravel the paradox, you know. You just have to know where to look… and what music to listen to. =p She may fall for you, she may want to be with you, she may want to share forever with you… but that doesn't change the fact that before she allows herself a peek into a future with you, there are things that she needs to know. Do you know how to touch a girl?

But how would she know?

"…conversation for hours
To see if we really connect"

…through time to get to know each other better. Through time to dive into each others lives and share the past, the present and the future. Time is of essence, my friends. Sometimes it can be a case of "the right thing, at the wrong time". So give her time enough for her to gauge if you've really got a connection. Time enough for her to see if there's really something of substance lying under the giggles, the laughter and the blushes. Let her assess if the "click-ness" has that much needed dose of "chemistry" to it, or if the "chemistry" that you share has the depth and substance of "click-ness" to it. Whatever you do, just don't rush it, don't push it and most definitely, don't force it.

"And baby if we do, ooh oo oo
I'll be givin' all my love to you"

Awww. So sweet.

Sigh.

Well, I now need to get my butt off to bed.
It's been a long day.
