A Rockin’ Good Way (to Mess Around and Fall in Love) Songtext
von Dinah Washington

If you′re gonna give me good kisses like that (what?)
Honey, don't you know I′m gonna give 'em right back (so give 'em here)

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 do I say now)

If you're gonna start out by huggin′ me tight
Don't mess around, just hug me right

′Cause that's a huggin′ good way (ah, bet your bottom dollar) (that's a huggin' good way)
Brook, that′s a huggin′ good way (that's a huggin′ good way)
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 wooin' (admit it, admit it)
Ah, you better ask somebody if you don't know what you′re doin′, yeah

Now you kissed me and you rocked my soul
And don't come around knockin′ rock and roll


'Cause that′s a rockin' good way (that′s a rockin' good way) (I loves to rock too)
Yes, that's a rockin′ good way (that′s a rockin' good way) (ooh yeah)
That′s a rockin' good way, ah, to mess around and fall in love
(Don′t mess around, don't mess around)

Well, you 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 better ask somebody if you don't know what you′re doin′

Mmm, now that you've kissed me and rocked my soul (ah-ha)
Don′t come around knockin' rock and roll (what I′m sayin' now)

That′s a rockin' good way (that's a rockin′ good way) (ah yeah)
Dinah, that′s a rockin' good way (I′m with you, baby) (that's a rockin′ good way)
That's a rockin′ good way to mess around and fall in love

You better know it, baby (I'm diggin' you)
It′s a rockin′ good way (and I love to rock, how 'bout you?)
Ah, and baby, you got what it takes
Ain′t that somethin'? You dig the rock?
I say (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
