Capo on 3
A C
If you THINK that a kiss is ALL in the lips
G A
C'mon, you got it all WRONG man
A C
And if you THINK that our dance was ALL in the hips,
G A (Let ring)
Oh WELL, then do the twist
A C
If you THINK holding hands is ALL in the fingers,
G A A G A
Grab HOLD of the soul where the MEMORY lingers, and

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