The White Stripes' Lyrics
The Denial Twist
If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
Come on, you got it all wrong, man
And if you think that our dance was all in the hips
Well, then do the twist
If you think holdin' hands, it's all in the fingers
Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers
And make sure to never do it with those singers
'Cause they'll tell everyone in the world
What he was thinkin' about the girl
Yeah what he's thinkin' about the girl
Oh, a lot of people get confused and they bruise
Real easy when it comes to love
They start puttin' on their shoes and walkin' out
And singin', "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, the boat, yeah, you know she's rockin' it
And the truth, well, you know there's no stoppin' it
Yeah
Oh, the boat, yeah, you know she's still rockin' it
And 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 feelin' that you're under can really make you wonder
How the hell she could be so cold
So now you're left denying the truth
And it's hidden in the wisdom in the back of your tooth
You need to spit it out in a telephone booth
While you call everyone that you know
And ask them, "Where do you think she goes?"
Oh yeah, "Where do you suppose she goes?"
Oh, the truth, well, you know there's no stoppin' it
And the boat, well, you know she's still rockin' it
Yeah
The boat, well, you know she's still rockin' it
And the truth, yeah, you know there's no stoppin' it
You recognize the effect and the wreck
That it's causin' when she rocks the boat
But 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 the lost little kitten
But you should know that the doctors weren't kiddin'
She was singin' it all along
But you were hearin' a different a song
Yeah, you were hearin' a different song
But you were hearin' a different song
