*Brook* 
If you're gonna give me good kissin' like that  
Honey, don'tcha know I'm gonna give 'em right back to you  
That's a kissin' good way (that's a kissin' good way) 
Ahh, 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) 

*Dinah* 
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) 
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) 

*Brook* 
Ya know you called me on the phone  
And just because I was alone 
Yes, you came around wooin'  
Ahh, you'd better ask somebody if you don't know what you're doin' 

*Dinah* 
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) 

*Dinah* 
Well, ya know you called me on the phone  
And just because I was alone  
You came around a-wooin' 
You gotta ask somebody if you don't know what you're doin' 

*Brook* 
Mmm, now that you've kissed me  and rocked my soul 
Don't come around knockin' rock'n'roll 
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) 
That's a rockin' good way to mess around and fall in love
