A Rockin' Good Way (To Mess Around And Fall In Love) Lyrics

If you're gonna give me good kissin' like that (what?)
Honey, don'tcha know I'm gonna give 'em right back (forgive me)
That's a kissin' good way (that's a kissin' good way)
Ah, that's a kissin' good way (that's a kissin' good way)
Now, that's a kissin' good way to mess around and fall in love
(Don't mess around, don't mess around) yeah, what'd I say, now?

If you're gonna start out by huggin' me tight
Don't mess around, just a-hug me right
'Cause that's a huggin' good way (that's a huggin' good way)
Brook, hat's a huggin' good way (that's a huggin' good way) (I'm with you there)
That's a huggin' good way to mess around and fall in love
(Don't mess around, don't mess around) dig this, you remember this?

You know, you called me on the phone (yeah, baby)
And just because I was alone
Yes, you came around a-wooin' (admit it, admit it)
Ah, you'd better ask somebody if you don't know what you're doin'

Now you kissed me and you rocked my soul
And don't come around knockin' rock'n'roll
'Cause that's a rockin' good way (that's a rockin' good way)
Yes, that's a rockin' good way (that's a rockin' good way)
That's a rockin' good way, ah, ah, to mess around and fall in love
(Don't mess around, don't mess around)

Well, ya know you called me on the phone
And just because I was alone (that's why I called you, baby)
You came around a-wooin'
You'd better ask somebody if you don't know what you're doin'

Mmm, now that you've kissed me and rocked my soul
Don't come around knockin' rock'n'roll (what'd I say now?)
That's a rockin' good way (that's a rockin' good way)
Dinah, that's a rockin' good way (that's a rockin' good way) I'm with you, baby
That's a rockin' good way to mess around and fall in love

You better know it baby (I'm diggin' it)
It's a rockin' good way
I love to rock, how 'bout you?
Ah, baby, you got what it takes
Ah ha, ain't that somethin', you dig the rock
I said (cool)
Stay out of my spot
Oh yeah, alright, oh yeah, I like the spot, don't you know, alright
Alright, you got it, man
