The Denial Twist

If you think that a kiss is all in the lips

Come on, you got it all wrong, man

And if you think that our dance was all in the hips

Oh, well, then do the twist

If you thinkin' holdin' 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

But he was thinkin' about the girl

Yeah, but he's thinkin' about the girl, oh

A lot of people get confused

And they bruise real easy when it comes to love

They start puttin' on their shoes and walkin' out

And singin', boy, I think I had enough

Just because she makes you feel wrong

But 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 playin' a different role

Yeah, by playin' 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

And 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 feelin' that you're under can really make you wonder

How the hell she can be so cold

So now you're mad, denyin' the truth

And it's gettin' 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 do you 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

The truth, yeah, you know there's no stoppin' it

You recognize with your back in the back

That's it's colder 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 dark is one kitten

She's been singin' it all along

But you were hearin' a different song

Yeah, you were hearin' a different song

But you were hearin' a different song
