If you THINK that a kiss is ALL in the lips
A# C
C'mon, you got it all WRONG man
C D#
And if you THINK that our dance was ALL in the hips,
A# C (Let ring)
Oh WELL, then do the twist
C D#
If you THINK holding hands is ALL in the fingers,
A# C C A# C
Grab HOLD of the soul where the MEMORY lingers, and
D#
Make sure to never DO it with a singer
A# C C A#

A lot of people get CONFUSED and they bruise
A# C C A# C
Real EASY when it comes to LOVE
D#
They start putting on their SHOES and walking out
A# C C A# C
And singing "BOY, I think I had ENOUGH"
D#
Just because she MAKES a big rumpus
A# C C A# C
She don't MEAN to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy
D#
Take a tip and do YOURSELF a little service
A# C C A#
Take a MOUNTAIN turn it into a mole
D# A# C
Just by PLAYIN a DIFFERENT ROLE
D# A# C C C A#
Yeah, by PLAYIN a DIFFERENT ROLE, oh
