If you think that a kiss is all in the lips C'mon, you got it all wrong, man And if you think that a dance is all in the hips Oh well, then do the twist If you think holding hands is all in the fingers Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and Make sure to never do it with a singer Cause he'll tell everyone in the world
What he was thinking about the girl Yeah, what he's thinking about the girl, oh
A lot of people get confused and they bruise Real easy when it comes to love They start putting on their shoes and walking out And singing "boy, I think I had enough" Just because she makes a big rumpus She don't mean to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy Take a tip and do yourself a little service Take a mountain turn it into a mole
Just by playing a different role Yeah, by playing a different role, oh
The boat yeah you know she's rockin' it And the truth well you know there's no stoppin' it The boat yeah you know she's still rockin' it The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it
So what, somebody left you in a rut And wants to be the one who's in control But the feeling that you're under can really make you wonder How the hell she could be so cold So now you're left, denying the truth And it's hidden in the wisdom in the back of your tooth You need to spit it out, in a telephone booth While you call everyone that you know, and ask 'em
Where do you think she goes Oh yeah, where d'ya suppose she goes, oh
The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it And the boat well you know she's still rockin' it The boat well you know she's still rockin' it And the truth yeah you know there's no stoppin' it
You recognize the effect and the wreck That it's causin' when she rocks the boat But it's the cause hittin on the Cardinal Laws 'bout the proper place to hang her coat So to you, the truth is still hidden And the soul plays the role of a lost little kitten but You should know that the doctors weren't kidding She's been singing it all along
But you were hearin' a different song Ya you were hearin' a different song But you were hearin' a different song
