Lyrics
If you’re gonna give me good kisses like that
Honey, don’t you know I’m gonna give them right back
‘Cause that’s a kissin’ good way, hmm-mmm (that’s a kissin’ good way)
Ah, that’s a kissin’ good way (that’s a kissin’ good way)
That’s a kissin’ good way to mess around and fall in love
(Don’t mess around, don’t mess around)
Ooh, if you’re gonna start out hugging me tight (right)
Don’t mess around come and hug me right
‘Cause that’s a huggin’ good way (that’s a huggin’ good way) yeah ha-ha
That’s a huggin’ good way (that’s a huggin’ good way) mmm-hmm
That’s a huggin’ good way to mess around and fall in love
(Don’t mess around) sing it Bonnie (don’t mess around)
You know you called me on the phone (yeah I got your number)
And just because I was alone
Ah, you came around a-wooing (why not?)
You better ask somebody if you don’t know what you’re doing
Now that you’ve kissed me and you rocked my soul
Don’t come ’round knocking rock and roll
‘Cause that’s a rockin’ good way (that’s a rockin’ good way) woo-hoo
That’s a rockin’ good way (that’s a rockin’ good way)
That’s a rockin’ good way to mess around and fall in love
(Don’t mess around) tell me baby (don’t mess around)
Well now, you call me on the phone (yeah, baby)
And just because I was alone
You came around a-wooing (woo)
Ah, you better ask somebody if you don’t know what you’re doing
Now you kiss me and you rock my soul (I love your soul, baby)
Don’t come around knocking rock and roll
‘Cause that’s a rockin’ good way (that’s a rockin’ good way)
Shaky, that’s a rockin’ good way, mmm yeah (that’s a rockin’ good way)
That’s a rockin’ good way to mess around and fall in love
Yeah (don’t mess around) what a way to go (don’t mess around)
It’s a rockin’ good way (that’s a rockin’ good way)
Mmm, that’s a rockin’ good way (that’s a rockin’ good way)
That’s a rockin’ good way to mess around and fall in love
(Don’t mess around, don’t mess around)
It’s a rockin’ good way to mess around and fall in love
Keep on rockin’ (I’m with you baby)
It’s a rocking good way (ah, you’d better know it)
A rockin’ good way (ha-ha-ha)
Ah baby, you’ve got what it takes (ha-ha-ha)
Rockin’ good way (rock and roll baby)
Rock, rock, rockin’ (woo)
Rockin’ good way
