If you think that a kiss
is all in the lips
come on 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
Yeah!
Oh 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 the 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
Yeah !
The boat well you know
she's still rockin' it
and the truth yeah
you know there's
no stoppin' it
You recognise 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
yeah you were hearin'
a different song
But you were hearin'
a different song
