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      Whatt he was thinking about the girl   Ya, whatt 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 you feel wrong   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 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 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 the effect and the fact   That it's comin' when she rocks the boat.   But it's the cause hittin' on the cardinal laws   About 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
