D-DU-UDU
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 a singer
Cause he'll TELL everyone in the WORLD
But he was thinking about the girl
Yeah, but 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 PLAYIN a DIFFERENT ROLE
Yeah, by PLAYIN a DIFFERENT ROLE, oh
Strumming)
The boat yeah you know she's rockin' it
And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it
The boat yeah you know she's rockin' it
And the truth well ya 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 left, 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 ya think she goes?
Oh yeah, where d'ya spose she goes?
Strumming)
The truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it
And, the boat yeah you know she's still rockin' it
The boat well ya know there's no rockin' it
And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it
You recognize the EFFECT and the wreck
That it's CAUSING when she rocks the boat
Well 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
(Let All Ring)
But you were HEARIN' a DIFFERENT SONG
