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

(album: First Issue: The Dinah Washington Story - 1993)

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

If you're gonna start out by hugging me tight
Don't mess around, just a-hug me right
'Cause that's a hugging good way (that's a hugging good way)
That's a hugging good way (that's a hugging good way)
That's a hugging good way to mess around and fall in love
(Don't mess around, don't mess around)

Ya know you called me on the phone
And just because I was alone
Yes, you came around wooing
Ah, you'd better ask somebody if you don't know what you're doing

Now you kissed me and you rocked my soul
And don't come around knocking rock 'n' roll
'Cause that's a rocking good way (that's a rocking good way)
Yes, that's a rocking good way (that's a rocking good way)
That's a rocking 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
You came around a-wooing
You gotta ask somebody if you don't know what you're doing

Mmm, now that you've kissed me and rocked my soul
Don't come around knocking rock 'n' roll
That's a rocking good way (that's a rocking good way)
Dinah, that's a rocking good way (that's a rocking good way)
That's a rocking good way to mess around and fall in love

It's a rocking good way
I love to rock; how 'bout you?
Ah, baby, you got what it takes
Ah, ha, ain't that somethin'?
