The Denial Twist

If you think that a kiss is all in the lips

C'mon, 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 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 the singer

'Cause he'll tell everyone in the world

What he was thinking about the girl

Ya, 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

Ya, by playing a different role, oh

The boat ya you know she's rockin' it

And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it

The boat ya 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 can be so cold

So now you're mad, denying the truth

And it's hidden in the wisdom in the back of your tooth

Ya need ta spit it out, in a telephone booth

While ya call everyone that you know, and ask 'em

Where do you think she goes

Oh ya, where d'ya suppose she goes, oh

The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it

And the boat well ya know she's still rockin' it

The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it

And the truth ya you know there's no stoppin' it

You recognize with your back in the back?

That 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 doctors weren't kiddin?

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
