Boys Quote by FKA twigs
![“I once said to a boy, ‘You’re a really good kisser,’ and he said, ‘You’re only as good as the person you’re kissing.' I think it’s the same with the music. If someone [says], ‘Your music is really provocative,’ I’m only as provocative as the person that’s listening to it.” quote by FKA twigs](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/7c7/fka-twigs-9990_boys_i-once-said-to-a-boy-you-re-a-really-goo_1684503.jpg)
